Hi John,

(1) Stir tank to evenly distribute the fish and take multiple subsamples in a small, known volume. Multiple by the total volume of your tank.

(2) Commercial larval fish counters are available to buy or rent (e.g., http://jensorter.com).

My wife went to Philippines Science. What are you doing for your project? What species are you working on?
