ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to methods for collecting a commercially useful quantity of crude hemocyanin from live gastropod molluscs by isolating hemolymph in a sinus of the animal followed by extraction of the hemolymph. The methods of the invention do not require incision of the vascular system or injury or death to the animal. In addition, the methods of the invention enable the periodic extraction of hemolymph from the same source animals.
