I may or may not be positively obsessed with the Seattle Aquarium and our friends there.

At the Seattle Aquarium, you can learn more about the local marine life as well as learn about conservation and research efforts. Through local collaboration and education, we can work towards lessening and possibly even reversing the harm we’ve done to our environment.

Another one of my favorite gastropods, the giant keyhole limpet! Very unique, very charismatic tide pool animal.

The Next five years the Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) market will register a 2.0% CAGR

Acquire Market Research has announced market research Report On – “Global Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) Market Growth 2019-2024″ with key players.

This report studies the Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) market, KLH, which can be used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”), is a very large, high molecular weight, oxygen-carrying glycoprotein made of millions of atoms. There are two KLH subunit forms, KLH1 and KLH2, each composed of seven or eight functional units, with each functional unit having an oxygen binding site of two copper atoms. Keyhole limpet hemocyanin is an extremely large, heterogeneous glycosylated protein consisting of subunits with a molecular weight of 350,000 and 390,000 in aggregates with molecular weights of 4,500,000-13,000,000. Each domain of a KLH subunit contains two copper atoms that together bind a single oxygen molecule (O2). The KLH protein is potently immunogenic yet safe in humans and is therefore highly prized as a vaccine carrier protein.

KLH protein is derived only from the hemolymph of the giant keyhole limpet (megathura crenulata), which is native only to a limited stretch of the Pacific Ocean coastline along Southern California and Baja California, Mexico.

KLH can be used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient and has high medical value. Due to high technology barrier and scarce raw material, there are few companies able to produce KLH and biosyn highly monopolizes the market at the moment.

The global keyhole limpet hemocyanin production will increase to 2132g in 2017, from 1570g in 2012, it is estimated that the global keyhole limpet hemocyanin demand will develop with a CAGR of 4.03% in the coming five years.

Megathura crenulata is native to rocky coasts of Southern California, United States to Baja California, Mexico and are found at shallow depths below the low tide line. American companies dominate the keyhole limpet hemocyanin product market. But downstream demand of keyhole limpet hemocyanin mainly is concentrated in Europe. Owning to immature technology, there is no company in China produce KLH for the time being.

Great Keyhole Limpet (Megathura crenulata)

Also known as the giant keyhole limpet, the great keyhole limpet is a large species of keyhole limpet (a type of gastropod) native to the coasts of Southern California and Mexico. Like other limpets the giant keyhole limpet is a simple herbivore and feeds mostly on algae and detritus. True to their name great keyhole limpets have a single keyhole like opening on the tops of their shells, this hole allows water to enter the animal and waste leave it. Most of this large limpets shell is covered in its fleshy mantle.

Something must be in the water because our friends at the Seattle Aquarium were out and about.

One of the keyhole limpets was stretching its shell all the way back to reveal its adorable puppy face, the crescent gunnel was ready to pick a fight and was slithering all over the place, the sea anemones have been as perky as I’ve ever seen them, and the new resident octopus, Queso, was putting on quite the show dancing about her tank changing colors and texture.

Something new I learnt about today is the Seafood Watch guide which can help inform us to make more sustainable decisions when eating fish and other marine life. Something worth checking out.

that hole on top of the shell is where it poops out of :) unlike "true limpets" which release their waste underneath the shell
