A female horseshoe crab may lay between 60,000 and 120,000 eggs, laying a few thousand at a time. Most of the eggs are eaten long before being able to hatch.
Horseshoe Crab eggs in a shell 12 inches wide, Edisto Island, SC, May 2008. I found the crab dead with appendages and book gills eaten away. This is the shell on the left. It is 29 inches long from the front edge of the carapace to the tip of the tail.he first, very small pair is used to put ground-up food into the crab's mouth. The next five pairs are for walking. The first of those five, i.e., the second pair of appendages, is larger in males and is used to grasp a female during spawning. There are two very important facts to know about Horseshoe Crabs.
