An evaluation of mark and recapture techniques for estimating tigerfish biomass in Lake Kariba

An evaluation of mark and recapture techniques for estimating tigerfish biomass in Lake Kariba

The effectiveness of 2 mark and recapture techniques was evaluated using tiger fish, Hydrocynus vittatus. The 2 techniques used were: tagging with a plastic tag and fluorescent spray marking. While the tagging method resulted as the logical method to use within the constraints of the tiger fish study, it cannot be considered completely reliable for the estimation of population size in Lake Kariba.
