In addition, it is an excellent method for estimation difficult to identify population.
Capture recapture method is non-expensive method can be used for organization with limited budgets. For the workshop: The using of capture-recapture method for bio-logy and health study, various methods of capture-recapture model such as close capture-recapture, open capture-recapture and spatial capture-recapture were dis-cussed.
