However, the main issue remains harvesting them for bait and such. <br /><br />They're also a useful research animal, due to certain properties of their blood. One advantage of this is that they can catch them, draw blood, and throw them back.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08840844954903338887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010409378436372090.post-85697714239173599312011-11-07T13:14:44.782-05:002011-11-07T13:14:44.782-05:00Nice post.

Seems to me there are many fewer on east coast beaches than when I was a kid. Unfortunately, they are "harvested" for use as bait and fertilizer in such numbers that. As a result, the survival of some shore birds (notably the red knot) is at risk, since the birds depend so heavily on horseshoe crab eggs to survive migration. I like the drawing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
