The single marking and recapture method is one of the methods
commonly used to estimate fish population size. There are four formulae in this
method, two of which are suggested by Bailey (1951), one by Chapman (1952) and the
last by Ricker (1975). For this reason, in the current study, firstly, one of Bailey's
formulae (1951) was examined mathematically and statistically. Secondly, numerical
data obtained from Duzgunes (1985) were used and his results from Mogan Lake were
compared. As a result, population size estimation of the carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) in
this lake was calculated using the four formulae as $9716 \pm 360$, $9381 \pm 3354$ (Bailey,
1951), $9409 \pm 3218$ (Chapman, 1952) and $9410 \pm 3364$ (Ricker, 1975). It is suggested that
as the confidence interval is narrower in the formula proposed by Chapman (1952)
than the other formulae, the results obtained using this formula are more reliable.
