by using the capture-recapture method which gives you the total size of organisms in a population.
Through mark-and-recapture projects, direct observations, or targeted sampling, ecologists are able to determine the population of a particular species. This process is a scientific estimation of the population.
They include: Simple random sampling, Systematic sampling, Stratified sampling, Quota sampling, and Cluster sampling.
Sampling and Non sampling errors

what are the steps involved in the mark and re-capture method in population sampling
It's called "Reconquista". Capture of Aztec empire was conquista, so from this we have "conquistadors".

what are four methods of determining populations size?

leafy seadragons only live in south australia and the population counted with the capture/ recapture method is 1,527,400
An ecologist can determine the size of a population without counting every organism by either sampling, mark-and-recapture studies, or indirect or direct observation.
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.
Census taking for sea horses is an impossible task. The best that you can hope for is a capture-recapture exercise.
Deer and other animals that do not stay put. Squirrels, salmon, and butterflies are some other examples.
Sampling - counting the number of organisms in a small area and multiplying to estimate the number in a larger areaMark & Recapture - capture an organism & release it to remix with population. Then recapture some more in that area to determine population size. Formula is as follows: R (marked recaptures) / C (total in second sample) = M (marked initially) / N (total pop. size)Indirect Observation - estimating the population size by tracks, nest or other animal signs in an ecosystem.Direct Observation - count all members of a population in an ecosystem
