Plusieurs hypothèses importantes doivent être satisfaites avant d'utiliser les méthodes de marquage et de recapture pour estimer l'abondance et le taux de mortalité d'une population, notamment : (1) les poissons étiquetés sont représentatifs de la population pour laquelle de l'information sur la mortalité est recherchée, (2) aucune émigration des poissons étiquetés ne se produit, (3) le nombre exact de poissons étiquetés remis à l'eau est connu précisément, (4) aucune étiquette n'est perdue ou incorrectement lue, (5) l'étiquetage n'a pas d'effet sur les taux de survie et (6) le sort de chaque poisson étiqueté est indépendant des autres individus étiquetés [...] 1, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20de%20marquage%20et%20de%20recapture
