In this paper, we study the long-time behavior of a size-structured population model. We define a basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}$ and show that the population dies out in the long run if $\mathcal{R}<1$. If $\mathcal{R}>1$, the model has a unique positive equilibrium, and the total population is uniformly strongly persistent. Most importantly, we show that there exists a subsequence of the total population converging to the positive equilibrium.

Keywords: Size-structured population model, basic reproduction number, extinction, uniform persistence.
