In the paper, under the stress of aggregation and reproduction mechanism of algae, we proposed a modified algae and fish model with aggregation and Allee effect, its main purpose was to further ascertain the dynamic relationship between algae and fish. Several critical conditions were investigated to guarantee the existence and stabilization of all possible equilibrium points, and ensure that the model could undergo transcritical bifurcation, saddle-node bifurcation, Hopf bifurcation and B-T bifurcation. Numerical simulation results of related bifurcation dynamics were provided to verify the feasibility of theoretical derivation, and visually demonstrate the changing trend of the dynamic relationship. Our results generalized and improved some known results, and showed that the aggregation and Allee effect played a vital role in the dynamic relationship between algae and fish.
