The horseshoe crab, is found along the east coast of North America. This species is of great economic, biomedical and ecological importance. For these reasons, it is important to better understand the population ecology of the horseshoe crab, as well as how this species may respond to chemical...
Horseshoe crabs have blue blood which has medical importance to humans. Horseshoe crabs are an ancient species, often called a living fossil because the body plan and behavior of the organism has not changed since first appearing on Earth 445 million years ago. The horseshoe crab predates the di...
The Ecological Importance of Horseshoe Crabs in Estuarine and Coastal Communities: A Review and Speculative Summary Beyond their commercial importance for LAL and bait, and their status as a living fossil, it is often asserted that horseshoe crabs play a vital role in the ecology of estuarine and...

The Atlantic horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, is valuable to fishing and biomedical industries, for education in public aquaria, and of ecological importance because the eggs provide a critical food source for migratory shorebirds. While hematologic and biochemical analyses are fundamental tools for ...
The Delaware Bay region is the epicenter of horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, activity, and despite the ecological and commercial importance of this species, few studies have examined the long-term movements of horseshoe crabs in this area and the amount of mixing that takes place between ...
gigas and C. rotundicauda is a unique feature of this region. Threats from fishing nets, motorboats, and trawlers might be the important factors responsible for the population decline of horseshoe crabs. As horseshoe crabs have ecological, commercial, and biomedical importance, necessary steps are...
