Various types of predator-prey systems are studied in terms of the stabilities of their steady-states. Necessary conditions for the existences of non-negative constant steady-states for those systems are obtained. The linearized stabilities of the non-negative constant steady-states for the predator-prey system with monotone response functions are analyzed. The predator-prey system with non-monotone response functions are also investigated for the linearized stabilities of the positive constant steady-states.
