by using the capture-recapture method which gives you the total size of organisms in a population.
There is no sampling method that will select the exact population.
The method will depend on what the population comprises. For example, if every element in the population has multiple properties then simply random selection will suffice.
Sampling is a method of selecting experimental units from a population so that we can make decision about the population. Sampling design is a design, or a working plan, that specifies the population frame,sample size, sample selection, and estimation method in detail. Objective of the sampling design is to know the characteristic of the population.
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.

Census taking for sea horses is an impossible task. The best that you can hope for is a capture-recapture exercise.
by using the capture-recapture method which gives you the total size of organisms in a population.
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.

Ecologists often use observational studies to collect data on species interactions, population dynamics, and community structures in their natural environments. This method involves direct observation of organisms in their habitats, which helps ecologists understand how different species interact with each other and their environment. Additionally, ecologists may use techniques such as field experiments or modeling to further investigate ecological patterns and processes.
