Having a round head with a parabolic shell, the 15-cm-long species looks cuter than previously found eurypterid species, said Wang Han, a major participant in the research and a Ph.D. student with the institute.

这项研究的主要参与者、该研究所的博士生王晗说，这种 15 厘米长的物种有着圆形的头部抛物线形的外壳，看起来比前发现的板足鲎更可爱。

In the early 1900s, horseshoe crabs were harvested by the millions and used as fertilizer.

In the famed Burgess Shale rock formation, paleontologists discovered hundreds of fossils of a horseshoe crab–shaped, prehistoric predator that lived in the ocean 506 million years ago.

加：着名的伯吉斯页岩岩石构造中，古生物学家发现了数个类似鲎形动物的史前海洋捕食者的化石， 这些化石距今已有5.06亿年。

So like I imagine somewhere there's just vials sitting that are just horseshoe crab approved and they're just waiting for their big moment.

所就像我想象的那样，某个地方只放着经过批准的鲎的小瓶，它们只是等待它们的重要时刻。

These beaches are the ultimate horseshoe crab hookups spot.

So if the horseshoe crab is not doing well, then the bird's not gonna do well.

因此，如果鲎的表现不好，那么鸟儿的表现也不会好。

But then there's the question of how are the horseshoe crabs doing actually?

But then there's another sort of little bell that's ringing in my head, which is like, no, that means we're gonna need a lot of extra horseshoe crab blood to do all this.

但随后我的脑海中响起了另一种小铃声，那就是，不，这意味着我们需要量额外的鲎血来完成这一切。

Those IV fluids would also be horseshoe crab approved, as would be the IV bag, the tubes, the catheter going into your vein.

这些静脉输液也将获得鲎的批准，就像静脉输液袋、管子、进入静脉的导管一样。

The tube going down your throat, that site of where it was manufactured, that would have also had to be tested with LAL, with the blood of the horseshoe crab.

穿过你喉咙的管子，即它的制造地点，也必须用鲎试剂鲎的血液进行测试。

This is what a horseshoe crab sounds like.
