of marked animals in the second sample is counted and recorded.
Based on the data obtained, the population size of the animal in the area can be
estimated by a formula
Formula:
The assumptions made in this technique:
The size of the population does not change and is
stable throughout the period of investigation.
The marked animals are not harmed or predated
upon.
The animals are captured ay random.
The marked animals are able to mix randomly
with the other animals before the second
capture.
Each marked animals has the same probability of
being recaptured as an unmarked animal.
To increase the accuracy of this technique:
Temperature
Light intensity
Humidity
pH
