This also helps with overlooking hidden variables so you can compare how the organisms in the control behaved differently from those in the experimental situation. The purpose of having multiple variables is to compare the difference between the outcomes with each of the different variables. It is important to have large number of organisms so there is more of a population. Watching one fish would not be accurate because they do not account for the body of fish but having more fish means having more of an accurate outcome of what the whole body of fish would actually do. If I were to repeat this procedure, I would probably calculate every 5 minutes but after I do, I would wait one minute and calculate again how many fish were in each area.
