Capture of living deep‐sea animals is reviewed. The conditions for the successful recovery of living animals from the deep‐sea are elaborated with examples. Control of pressure, temperature, or both, appears to be a prerequisite for the capture of living deep‐sea animals. Deep‐sea animals (archibenthal) show a loss of the R 1 response in comparison with their shallow‐water counterparts. Genuine deep‐sea animals have now been recovered in a living state suitable for experimentation from the High Arctic.
