What are the advantages and disadvantages of the capture-mark-recapture method

Capture-mark-recapture method is a technique commonly used to measure the size of a population. When using this technique, a number of individuals in a certain natural population are marked, returned to that population, and some of them are eventually recaptured as a basis for estimating the size of the population at the period of marking and release.

Advantages of the capture-mark-recapture method include; it is relatively costly, reliable, and its accuracy does not depend on the evaluation of the amount of habitat.

Disadvantages of the capture-mark-recapture method include; its accuracy depend on capturing a large proportion of the population, and marking of animals can have a dramatic effect on the animals.

one is through turgidity. this occurs before ground tissue ( collenchyma

and sclerenchyma cells) become well

developed to give structural support to the plant as it grows bigger. the xylem

tissue (composed of rigid tissue) of the young

plant render this support and also maintaining osmotic turgidity of the surrounding

plant cells.
