| Soliton like structures called “stable droplets” are found to exist within a paradigm reaction diffusion model which can be used to describe the patterning in a number of fish species. It is straightforward to analyse this phenomenon in the case when two non-zero stable steady states are symmetric, however the asymmetric case is more challenging. We use a recently developed perturbation technique to investigate the weakly asymmetric case. | |||
