Summary We curried field observation on the Sendaiwan-nambu coast in order to reveal the daily and seasonal variation in coastal animals. Both number of species and biomass were highly variable@during day in surf zone, thus the results of traditional survey curried in coastal works were considered to be underestimated. Effective methods for catching animals with high mobility at sea coast were discussed.
