Mating pair of Tachypleus tridentatus caught at Ha Pak Nai on 10 October 2013.

This male and female were caught by a local fisherman close to the shore at Ha Pak Nai, Deep Bay, New Territories West on a receding tide and donated to the City University/Ocean Park horseshoe crab breed and release programme.

In the breeding tank at City University


Notice the prominent scars left by the male during attachment on the female carapace
