PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly effective capturing apparatus for a gastropod organism suppressing a load from manual work or heavy labor for seeking the gastropod organism regardless of motion of the gastropod organism by controlling habits of the gastropod organism from outside.SOLUTION: The capturing apparatus for a gastropod organism includes: a pair of opposing electrodes disposed through a medium material DC power for outputting DC voltage between the electrodes and a voltage control part for applying the DC voltage between the electrodes by controlling the voltage value of the DC voltage output from the DC power, and attracts the gastropod organism in the medium material to the vicinity of the electrode on a lower side out of the electrodes.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】腹足類生物の習性を外部から制御することで腹足類生物の動きに捕らわれず、腹足類生物を探し回るという手作業や重労働からの負担を抑えた高効率な腹足類生物の捕集装置を提供する。【解決手段】腹足類生物の捕集装置は、媒体物質を介して配設される一対の対向する電極と、前記電極間に直流電圧を出力する直流電源と、前記直流電源から出力される直流電圧の電圧値を制御して電極間に印加する電圧制御部とを備え、前記電極のうち低位側の電極近傍に前記媒体物質中の腹足類生物を誘引させる。【選択図】図1
