1 Non-fiction: Blue Bloods of the Sea Blue Bloods of the Sea Some people are afraid of horseshoe crabs. Their hard shells, pointy tails, and six pairs of legs make them scary-looking animals. But horseshoe crabs actually help people. Their special blue blood is used by doctors to help fight diseases. 1 Now some scientists say the number of horseshoe crabs is falling, and they need our help. Blue Bloods of the Sea Scientists believe the horseshoe crab population 2 around the world is falling - for many reasons. Fishermen catch horseshoe crabs and use them as bait 3. Pollution is hurting some of the areas in North America, from Maine to Mexico, where horseshoe crabs live. Seabirds hunt the crabs and eat the eggs that female horseshoe crabs lay. In the United States, some states are passing laws that say how many crabs can be caught each year. The U.S. government wants to make Delaware Bay, where many horseshoe crabs live, a protected area. Delaware Bay is near Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. Crabs Help People Horseshoe crabs help doctors fight diseases. Doctors use horseshoe crab blood to test medicines for harmful germs. Crab blood clots, or thickens, when it comes in contact with germs that can cause disease. If the crab blood does not clot, the medicine is free of bacteria, 4 and people can safely use it. Doctors use a needle to remove some of the special blue blood from a crab. Blood is taken from about 300,000 horseshoe crabs each year. Scientists say that no horseshoe crabs are killed when the blood is taken. The horseshoe crabs are later returned to their habitat or area where they live. 1 disease: illness 2 population: a group of life forms living in an area 3 bait: material such as food used to attract and trap animals 4 bacteria: microorganisms (single-cell living matter) that can cause disease Article: Copyright 2007 Weekly Reader Corporation.
