Horseshoe Crabs Conservation:A Triple Winning Strat-egy
摘要
Abstract
As a living fossil,the horseshoe crab is not only an important research object in pale-ontology,but also a raw material for medical reagents.Horseshoe Crabs Conservation not only sustains human existence, but also pro-motes the leap of human civilization.However, in recent years,populations of horseshoe crabs have greatly declined on a large scale due to hab-itat destruction and overharvesting for both food and blood extraction.There is an urgent need for conservation.IUCN guidelines for critical con-servation include establishing protected areas,increasing population abundance and promoting public participation.The results show that juvenile Tachypleus tridentatus and Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda live together in mangroves at the estuary of the southern coast of China.About 60% of the carbon source in both species of food comes from seagrass.In outdoor culturing conditions,the polyculture of juvenile T .tridentatus and Bab ylonia areolata can accelerate their molting rates and increase survival rate,resulting in a large number of juveniles (3rd instar) suitable for releasing.Based on the existing research results,this paper proposed a triple-win-ning strategy to conserve the horseshoe crabs:Supporting for effective management of coastal and estuarine protected areas;sustaining the populations of horseshoe crab within the protected areas;promoting ecological civilization while providing education about wise use of horseshoe crab resources for the general public and local communities.关键词
