Therefore, the small fishery for horseshoe crabs in Florida must be managed to ensure the ecological functions of the horseshoe crab are sustained. Their longer lifespan and complex life history puts them at potential risk for over-exploitation. Horseshoe crabs are different from most other invertebrates in that they take a long time to reach maturity – about 10 years on average. If you have ever received a vaccine or had a surgery, horseshoe crabs have helped you! In addition, the blood of horseshoe crabs is vital for biomedical testing – the FDA requires that all injectable medicines, devices used for injection, and internal prosthetics undergo testing with an extract only found in horseshoe crab blood (Limulus Amebocyte Lysate). Many marine species eat horseshoe crab eggs, the crabs serve as bait (conch and eel fisheries) and they are captured live for display in aquaria and research. Horseshoe crabs are important for several reasons. Horseshoe crabs ( Limulus polyphemus) are a common sight on sandy beaches and other nearshore habitats in Florida.
