Biologists say they are now under grim evolutionary pressures that are triggering precipitous declines in their numbers, particularly on the eastern seaboard of America. Hundreds of thousands are having their blood taken, triggering swathes of deaths and reducing populations in key breeding areas such as Delaware Bay in New Jersey. This decrease has also had wider ecological consequences. Major drops in populations of birds, such as the rufa red knot, are now being reported in the wake of the horseshoe’s decline. Every spring, thousands of red knots used to fly to Delaware Bay from the tip of South America and gorge themselves on the millions of eggs laid there by crabs during the horseshoe spawning seasons. Then the birds would fly off for the remainder of their 9,000-mile migration to the Arctic. However, recent drastic drops in red knot numbers have been reported, and these have, in turn, been blamed on the decline of the horseshoe crab. In addition, horseshoes provide fishermen with a key source of
bait, and this widespread exploitation has also contributed to the It’s a bird it’s plane damn that’s a big ol bitch Marcella Arguello T-shirt so you should to go to store and get this ecological pressures on the horseshoe. As a result, a ban was imposed this year on the harvesting of female horseshoes in Delaware Bay. But many ecologists believe that there is no longer an excuse for using horseshoes, either for bait or as a source of medical materials. “The fisheries – such as eel fishing – that used horseshoe crabs as bait are dwindling, and there are alternatives to using their blood for medical products,” said Larry Niles, a wildlife biologist in New Jersey. “So there’s no reason to be killing these animals at all.” Blue blood being extracted from horseshoe crabs before they are returned to the shoreline.

These rely on synthetic ingredients and if implemented across the globe could lead to the end of horseshoe bleeding. Only a few organisations – such as Eli Lilly – have chosen to adopt the new synthetic test, mainly because there was no regulatory encouragement for companies to swap techniques. However, recent changes in the rules set by medical regulators, who set quality and identity standards for medicines, have raised hopes that tests based on horseshoe medicine bleeds could be
