Catching routine
Check the time and weather, pick the right tool, approach slowly and always keep one inventory slot free for a surprise.
Sell smart
Keep your first catch for the Omnidex. After that, sell duplicates — but save a large Stellar specimen if you want it for the Omni-Gallery.
Field notes
The current English database lists 82 shore-dwellers, including crabs, shrimp, lobsters, crayfish, urchins, anemones and shellfish.
Equip the Shellfish Tongs, approach slowly and grab the creature. Crabs and shrimp flee if you move too fast; lobsters hide in rocks and need patience.
They are found only in the shallow intertidal zone along the beach. Some also appear when you pick up broken seashells or coral branches.
Certain gold-quality crayfish spin around and charge at the player. You can grab them during the charge or approach very carefully from behind.
