If 50 crabs were captured and marked and then released and then a few days later 25 were caught and of those 5 were marked. What would the estimate of the population be?

N= (M x S) / R

M=Marked Individuals Released

R= Marked Animals Recaptured

S=Size of Second Sample

N= Estimated Population

• 500

• 250

• 75

• 200

Which of the following accurately describes the difference between mark recapture and quadrat sampling?

• Quadrat sampling is used for mobile populations and mark recapture is used for stationary populations

• Quadrat sampling is used for stationary populations and mark recapture is used for mobile populations

• Quadrat sampling can only be used for small populations

• Mark recapture sampling can only be used for small populations
