The present invention discloses a cultivation method for improving the molting rate and
survival rate of
diapause first-
instar Chinese horseshoe crabs. The
diapause first-
instar Chinese horseshoe crabs refer to individuals that are hatched into first-
instar juveniles in September of the current year and have not molted into second-instar horseshoe crabs until April of the following year. The method comprises the following steps: selecting
diapause first-instar Chinese horseshoe crabs and placing them in
seawater containing 30-90 mg / L of
vitamin C for cultivation. The present invention can not only effectively improve the molting rate of diapause first-instar
juvenile horseshoe crabs but also improve the
survival rate of the
juvenile horseshoe crabs, thereby obtaining second-instar
horseshoe crab seedlings with good quality.
