More than 200 researchers and students have joined this tour to observe living radiolarians. The tours have provided valuable knowledge on living radiolarians, such as faunal characteristics, biological activities, skeletal growth, and molecular phylogeny. In this guide, brief histories of radiolarian biological research and the Okinawa Radiolarian Tour are given. Practical, latest information on oceanographic conditions, travel, safety, and handling and storage procedures for radiolarian studies will be given at the Sesoko Station., InterRed XV in Niigata 2017 Niigata University (JAPAN) Oct/22-Oct/27, 2017}, pages = {103--123}, title = {Excursion guide to the radiolarians of the East China Sea near Sesoko Island, Okinawa, Japan : An important research station for living radiolarian studies}, volume = {32(Supplement)}, year = {2017} }
