[L'évaluation] de l'abondance d'une population constitue une démarche indispensable à toute recherche écologique. Il existe plusieurs méthodes qui permettent le dénombrement des effectifs. Dans le [...] cas [des organismes fixes] végétaux, invertébrés sessiles des eaux douces ou marines [...], le problème est relativement simple et se résout à une question d'échantillonnage lorsque le dénombrement absolu concerne un effectif trop important pour être réalisable. Dans le [...] cas [des organismes mobiles], les difficultés sont beaucoup plus importantes. [...] Ceci implique le choix d'une méthode d'échantillonnage qui évite toute source de biais dans le prélèvement [ou] le dénombrement des individus contenus dans l'échantillon donné. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9nombrement
