contents Let $Γ$ denote the $d = 2$ Bianchi group $\operatorname{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-2}])$. We give an explicit description of all conjugacy classes of maximal nonelementary Fuchsian subgroups of $Γ$ as integral orders of certain indefinite quaternion algebras over $\mathbb{Q}$. Using this description, we also provide the covolumes corresponding to each conjugacy class. As an application, we compute the limit $\lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{Π(x)}{x}$ where $Π(x)$ counts the number of primitive totally geodesic immersed surfaces in the manifold $Γ\backslash\mathbb{H}^3$ with area less than $x$.
