Later , another portion is captured and the number of marked individuals within the sample is counted .

The method is most useful when it is not practical to count all the individuals in the population . Other names for this method , or closely related methods , include capture - recapture , capture - mark - recapture , mark - recapture , sight - resight , mark - release - recapture , multiple systems estimation , band recovery , the Petersen method , and the Lincoln method .
