The Role of Horseshoe Crabs in the Biomedical Industry and Recent Trends Impacting Species Sustainability

Every year the Atlantic horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus) arrives on shore to spawn, a sight once taken for granted. However, in addition to the gradual climate changes impacting all ecosystems, commercial demand from the widespread application of Atlantic horseshoe crab blood in industrial endoto...
