Based on a predator-prey differential system with continuously distributed delays, we derive a corresponding difference version by using the method of a discretization technique. A good understanding of permanence of system and global attractivity of positive solutions of system is gained. An example and its numerical simulations are presented to substantiate our theoretical results. 1. Introduction It is well known that the classical Lotka-Volterra differential equations for predator-prey interaction can be written as x t x t a − bx t − cy t , 1.1 y t y t −d px t
