Did you know?
The horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, at one time were
considered true crustaceans, thus the name "crab." However,
these dark brown Arthropods are only distantly related to such
crustaceans as the true crabs, shrimps and lobsters. By
examining their underside, we can clearly see many similarities
between the horseshoe crabs, members of the class Merostomata
and spiders, scorpions and ticks, which belong to the class
Arachnida.
There is recent concern that a
species that has been in existence for over 350 million years may be in
jeopardy. The Horseshoe Crab habitat covers the coast of Maine to
Florida, with Long Island and Fire Island normally hosting a large
population. There is expert concern about a significant decline in the
horseshoe crab population over the past decade.
The Horseshoe Crab Network (HSC) headed by Dowling
College's Dr. John T. Tanacredi, will conduct a Super-inventory of the
horseshoe crab population and YOUR HELP is urgently requested.
Anyone sighting a horseshoe crab is asked to call the HSC Hotline at
631-244-3394
Callers should leave their name, address, telephone number and the time
of call and a representative of the HSC network will meet them to view
the HSC habitat, count the crabs, measure them and record the site on a
regional map of Horseshoe Crab habitats.
