cause its more easier to count how many animals or organisms live in a particular area
The purpose of a method statement is that it provides us with the details of what the required operator is supposed to do.
The purpose of scientific method is to build confidence in one's ability draw conclusions. Having a standardized method makes the conclusions more reliable.

The assumptions of the mark-recapture method include: 1) The population is closed (no immigration, emigration, or deaths) during the study period, 2) Marks do not affect the probability of capture, and 3) Marks are not lost or overlooked between captures.
Mark and recapture is a method commonly used in ecology to estimate an animal population's size where it is impractical to count every individual. A portion of the population is captured, marked, and released.
To estimate the population of turtles in a small pond using the mark and recapture method, first capture a sample of turtles, mark them in a non-invasive way, and release them back into the pond. Later, recapture another sample of turtles and note how many of them are marked. Based on the proportions of marked turtles in the recaptured sample, you can calculate an estimate of the total population size using mathematical formulas.

mark a fish. and let him go, then recapture!!! =) this is done to many species such as birds and fish to help estimate and conserve the population and its enviroment.
The mark-and-recapture method is useful for ecologists when estimating population size of mobile animals. By capturing, marking, and releasing a sample of individuals, then recapturing and noting how many marked individuals are within the sample, researchers can use this data to statistically estimate the total population size.
Wildlife populations are commonly estimated using methods such as mark-recapture, transect surveys, and camera traps. The mark-recapture method involves capturing individuals, marking them, releasing them, and later recapturing to estimate population size based on the ratio of marked to unmarked individuals. Transect surveys involve counting individuals along predetermined paths, while camera traps use motion-sensor cameras to monitor wildlife activity and abundance in specific areas. Each method has its advantages and is chosen based on the species and habitat being studied.
false
by using the capture-recapture method which gives you the total size of organisms in a population.
The main purpose of the scientific method is to test ideas
leafy seadragons only live in south australia and the population counted with the capture/ recapture method is 1,527,400
