Captive breeding and induced fertilization of Malaysian horseshoe crab (Tachypleus gigas) for sea ranching and future artificial sanctuary

Horseshoe crabs are the only extant Xiphosurans experiencing serious threats in terms of their nesting and spawning ground habitat degradation, over exploitation for biomedical bleeding practices and uncontrolled harvesting of their wild population for local delicacy. Hence, the current project was...
