Kininogenase activity of Thalassophryne nattereri fish venom

Biochemical Pharmacology, 2004
Accidents caused by the venomous fish Thalassophryne nattereri are characterized by edema, intense pain and necrosis at the site of the sting. This study assessed the nociceptive and edematogenic activities of T. nattereri venom after injection into the mouse hindpaw and determination of the paw licking duration and weight. Subplantar injections of the

Evolution of Venomous Cartilaginous and Ray-Finned Fishes

Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2016
Venom and its associated delivery systems have evolved in numerous animal groups ranging from jellyfishes to spiders, lizards, shrews, and the male platypus. Building off new data and previously published anatomical and molecular studies, we explore the evolution of and variation within venomous fishes.

The venom apparatus of the scorpion fish Notesthes Robusta

Toxicon, 1966
The venom apparatus of Notesthes robusta, an Australian scorpaenid fish which has been responsible for numerous severe injuries, consists of the 15 spines of the dorsal fin, the three spines of the anal fin and the single spine of each ventral fin together with the paired venom glands carried in grooves in each of these spines.

Important biological activities induced by Thalassophryne maculosa fish venom

Toxicon, 2005
The accidents caused by Thalassophryne maculosa fish venoms are frequent and represent a public health problem in some regions of Venezuela. Most accidents occur in the fishing communities and tourists. The clinical picture is characterized by severe pain, dizziness, fever, edema, and necrosis. Due to the lack of efficient therapy it may take weeks, or

Refutation of the venomous reputations of three teleost fishes

Toxicon, 1972
Histological examination of the integumentary sheaths investing the spines of specimens of three species of teleost fish which have been reported to be venomous revealed that they lacked a venom apparatus. The species are the batrachoidid Halophryne diemensis, the aploactid Paraploactis trachyderma and the acanthurid Acanthurus xanthopterus ...

[Pharmacological properties of fish venoms].

Comptes rendus des seances de la Societe de biologie et de ses filiales, 1998
Fish venoms can be lethal for Vertebrates. The effect depends of dose and subject, more than incriminated fish. The most constant symptom is a violent pain; but the serious pharmacological effects are respiratory and heart failure with marked hypotension and cardiac perturbations, neurologic damage, such as seizure and coma.

Fish venom: pharmacological features and biological significance

Fish and Fisheries, 2009
AbstractNearly 1200 species of marine fish are venomous and they account for two‐third of the population of venomous vertebrates. Fish venoms are focused as a potential source of pharmacological agents and physiological tools that have evolved to target vital processes in the human body that appear to have more electivity than many drugs.

Tiny fish drugs predators with unique venom

New Scientist, 2017
A tropical blenny uses prominent fangs on its lower jaws to inject venom that sends larger fish into a limp mess. When a predator engulfs a blenny, the tiny fish bites the predator's mouth. Nick Casewell of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, UK and his colleagues have tested the venom of 11 species from reefs in the western Pacific, including ...
