Identification of “alpha-conotoxin-like” Peptide in Conus pennaceus Born, 1778, Venom [PDF]
بومشناسی آبزیان, 2018 Conic snails are slow-moving carnivorous that use a very powerful venom to hunt. This venom is a combination of different toxins from the family of conototoxins.

Conotoxins: Therapeutic Potential and Application
Marine Drugs, 2006 The pharmacological variety of conotoxins, diverse peptides found in the venoms of marine cone snails, is well recognized. Venoms from each of the estimated 500 species of cone snails contain 50 to 200 distinct biologically active peptides.

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 10, October 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Genetic diversity and connectivity are crucial to informing the conservation strategy for deep‐sea organisms, especially those threatened by deep‐sea mining. The vent mussel Bathymodiolus septemdierum has an extraordinary trans‐oceanic distribution range across the Indo‐West Pacific including numerous sites eyed for exploitation.
