Abstract
For most researchers and students who wish to study marine animals, the first critical step is the collection of the desired species from the sea. Since animals present a wide variety of characteristics (e.g., benthic or pelagic, microscopic or macroscopic, it is necessary to choose the appropriate method for each species. In this chapter, some general methods for collecting marine animals are explained, and pictures of marine animals that can be collected around Japan are presented.
