Apparatus and methods for photographing marine organism specimens are disclosed, capable of easily and motionlessly fixing marine organism specimen even on a sailing ship by epochal improvement to the conventional equipment for photographing marine organism specimens. Aspects of the device include displaying in a graphical user interface of the media device a representation of a first media item; displaying a profile score of the first media item that is based on user preferences; and displaying a replay score for the first media item. The dried particles are then compressed into a briquette without addition of a binder. In a state in which the select lever selects no-running condition, the transmission ratio of the toroidal type continuously variable transmission is controlled such that the rotational speed of the output shaft becomes null or at an extremely low speed even when the running state is selected at the instance. Said cover comprises at least one plate, wherein the at least one plate is substantially plane and without corrugations.
