Young rainbow trout were sampled at locations one kilometer apart along a river.Scale samples were taken from each trout, and trout age (0 or 1) determined by counting annual rings on the scales.In the first location, 92 trout were captured and marked.In the recapture one week later, 108 trout were captured; of these, 36 were marked.Using the mark-recapture equation, estimate the population size of young trout in this section of the river.
