We need to adjust the trap valid ruleset. Currently it evaluates if the actual trap catch is within the expected catch using the window count and the estimated trap rate. However, we have not adjusted the window count for night time passage and during periods of high night-time passage we are labelling the trap as invalid.
We should also consider changing the rule set to be based on sample sizes and not the window to keep the two streams of information independent. For example, the trap is invalid if the number of possible tags is less than 30 and/or the trapped tags is less than 7.
