Many on that very search page. The person who did the artwork for the

Right. It's not really a problem for grammar school kids!
More seriously, if you took this setting and made it into one where you
caught the fist one at a time and threw them back, it looks like you
could develop a model that would allow you to estimate something about
the total number of fish and the probability of catching each fish
(which could be different for each fish) and maybe have something better
to say about the total population of fish whose catpure probability
exceeds some lower bound, or is less than some upper bound, or both.
I think you can make the two problems equivalent under some assumptions.
