    Answer: 114

    Step-by-step explanation: You have 43 new catfish then you catch 88 but 17 of them have already been marked so you do not want to count those in the estimated population again because they have already been counted so you take 88 minus 17 and you get 71 new fish. So then you add the first new sample of fish 43 and then you add the second new sample of fish 71 and then you get 114
