In the current manuscript, an attempt has been made to understand the dynamics of a time-delayed predator-prey system with modified Leslie-Gower and Beddington-DeAngelis type functional responses for large initial data. In [1], we have seen that the model does possess globally bounded solutions, for small initial conditions, under certain parametric restrictions. Here, we show that actually solutions to this model system can blow-up in finite time, for large initial condition, even under the parametric restrictions derived in [1]. We prove blow-up in the delayed model, as well as the non delayed model, providing sufficient conditions on the largeness of data, required for finite time blow-up. Numerical simulations show, that actually the initial data does not have to be very large, to induce blow-up. The spatially explicit system is seen to possess Turing instability. We have also studied Hopfbifurcation direction in the spatial system, as well as stability of the spatial Hopf-bifurcation using the central manifold theorem and normal form theory.1991 Mathematics Subject Classification.

For the non-trivial solution of (20), we require thatThis gives us a polynomial in k, and via standard theory [16], we derive the following necessary and sufficient conditions for Turing Instability;
