Book excerpt: This is unquestionably the most authoritative compact guide to the world of underwater animals that are poisonous, venomous, and electric. Stories concerning dangerous marine organisms are legion. While these hair-raising tales may be useful in holding an audience spell-bound, when a diver at a depth of 100 feet or a swimmer on a home beach suddenly comes upon, or is surrounded by, any of these organisms, he or she is more concerned with fact than fantasy. Dr. Bruce Halstead's book describes and fully illustrates these dangerous marine animals, their noxious effects, treatment of ailments resulting from them and, most importantly, how to avoid them. The illustrations, most of which are in full color, show the animals in their true forms and in their natural habitats.

This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of venoms in nature … and in human medicine Why are toxins so advantageous to their possessors as to evolve over and over again? What is it about watery environments that favors so many venomous creatures? Marine biologist Paul Erickson explores these and other questions with astounding images from Andrew Martinez and other top underwater photographers. GREAT for teaching STEM Marine Biology Scorpions and brown recluse spiders are fine as far as they go, but if you want daily contact with venomous creatures, the ocean is the place to be. Blue-ringed octopi, stony corals, sea jellies, stonefish, lionfish, poison-fanged blennies, stingrays, cone snails, blind remipedes, fire urchins—you can choose your poison in the ocean. Venoms are often but not always defensive weapons. The banded sea krait, an aquatic snake, wriggles into undersea caves to prey on vicious moray eels, killing them with one of the world’s most deadly neurotoxins, which it injects through fangs that resemble hypodermic needles.
