This is a model that simulates surveyors counting aninmals while deploying belt-transect, stationary-point-count and roving (random path) techniques. The model demonstrates how non-instantaneous sampling techniques produce bias by overestimating the number of counted animals, when they move relative to the surveyor.. 2020.

FishCensus is an agent-based model that simulates underwater visual census of fish populations, a method used worldwide to survey shallow marine and freshwater habitats that involves a diver counting fish species to estimate their density. It can help estimate sampling bias, apply correction factors to field surveys and decide on the best method to survey a particular species.. 2017.
