One way of estimating the number of fish in a pond is to capture and mark some fish. Release the marked fish back into the pond and give them a chance to mingle back into the pond.

Now capture a new batch of fish (the sample). Count the number of marked fish in the newly captured sample.

Now do the calculation.
