Pulmonary and cutaneous oxygen uptake in sea snakes and a file snake

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology A, Comparative Physiology, 1975
Abstract 1. 1. Pulmonary and cutaneous O 2 uptake was measured in six Indo-Pacific sea snakes and the marine file snake, Acrochordus granulatus . 2. 2. Cutaneous uptake ranged from 0 to 22 per cent of the total but it is evident that all CO 2 production may be lost through the skin.

ANTIVENOM IN SEA-SNAKE BITE POISONING

Lancet, The, 1975
Among a series of 101 patients bitten by sea-snakes in Malaya in the years 1957-64, 80% were fishermen. Bathers and divers are occasionally bitten. Before sea-snake antivenom became available the mortality-rate (despite the high toxicity of sea-snake venom) was only 10%; however, of 11 with serious poisoning, 6 died.

Fatal Sea Snake Envenomation

American Journal of Forensic Medicine & Pathology, 2021
Abstract A 23-year-old man working on a prawn trawler off the Northern Australian coast was bitten on the right hand by a black-banded sea snake (Laticauda colubrina), resulting in the rapid onset of ptosis, blurred vision, and respiratory difficulties with convulsions, loss of consciousness, and death. Resuscitation was unsuccessful.

On the Abundance of a Pelagic Sea Snake

Journal of Herpetology, 2015
Abstract We quantified the abundance of pelagic sea snakes, Hydrophis (= Pelamis) platurus, while following slicks that formed drift lines during 3 yr of research in the Golfo de Papagayo, Costa Rica. The number of snakes we observed floating on slicks varied greatly and ranged from 0 to 1,029 per hour. The largest number we observed was highly unusual

ENVENOMATION BY SEA SNAKE IN QUEENSLAND

Medical Journal of Australia, 1981
A case of a near-fatal sea snake bite, believed to the the first such case in Australia, is presented. The two-year-old girl victim became unconscious and apnoeic soon after envenomation by an Astrotia stokesii, and required artificial ventilation for 22 hours. She regained consciousness 4 1/2 hours after the administration of antivenom.

Sea snake envenomation at Bondi

Medical Journal of Australia, 1984
A rare occurrence of serious envenomation by a sea snake in the waters of a popular Sydney beach is reported. A 19-year-old man was bitten while swimming, then quickly developed major proximal neuromuscular complications. Prompt, effective first aid (firm limb bandaging and splinting), transport to hospital, and administration of antivenom led to the ...

Biotoxicology of sea snake venoms

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1987
Sea snakes are the most abundant venomous reptiles, found throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Divided into two subfamilies, Laticaudinae and Hydrophiinae, all sea snakes are poisonous. Venoms are highly toxic, as indicated by low LD50 values in test animals. Toxic compounds include presynaptic and postsynaptic neurotoxins.

The Salt Gland in a Sea Snake (Laticauda)

Nature, 1967
ONE marine lizard and several marine turtles possess salt glands capable of secreting highly concentrated solutions of sodium chloride1. The salt gland appears to be of adaptive advantage to reptiles exposed to electrolyte loads, because the kidney is unable to excrete urine hyperosmotic to the blood.
