- Mode of the organism such as
- motility; plants and sessile or slow-moving organism may be counted directly, while indirect methods may be required for fast- moving organism in large open grass land.
- Association between organism- some methods such as capture – recapture method requires organism that associate randomly.
- Hostility hostile organism may require special gadgets for collection and/or counting.
3. Size of the area under investigation. For big area, population may be estimated basing on samples
4. Physical and climatic factors
5. Climatic condition
6. Topography
