The global stability of a discrete population model of Volterra type is stu
died. The model incorporates time delays and allows for a fluctuating envir
onment. By linearization of the model at positive solutions and constructio
n of Liapunov functionals, sufficient conditions arc obtained to ensure a p
ositive solution of the model is stable and attracts all positive solutions
