sample

sample
1) in systematic ichthyology a collection of fishes made from a locality; a subset of a population; a representative part of a larger unit used to study the properties of the whole. The larger the sample the greater the confidence that the information derived from it truly reflects the status of the whole although beyond a certain point more specimens do not yield significantly more data
2) in fisheries a proportion of a stock removed for study, assumed to be representative of the whole. Larger samples give greater confidence that they reflect the status of a stock
