When only a tiny fraction of either species is removed, the trout fraction among the remaining fish stays nearly constant at . Successive catches are then approximately independent trials with that fixed success probability. The count therefore approaches the binomial distribution
(1)
The approximation comes from negligible depletion, not from an exact independence property of sampling without replacement.
