The catching tool can catch the marine products by keeping the fully opened posture of the holding fragments 4 by engaging the base end parts of the contacting fragments 6 in a posture in which the axially supported part 6a of the base end parts is reversed, and keeping the posture to form a locked state, and dashing the contacting fragments 6 to the marine products to release the locked state and to instantly form a closed state of the holding fragments 4 by the elastic member 3, and to hold the marine products by the holding fragments.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2002,JPO
