Sea Snake Harvest in the Gulf of Thailand
Conservation Biology, 2014Abstract Conservation of sea snakes is virtually nonexistent in Asia, and its role in human–snake interactions in terms of catch, trade, and snakebites as an occupational hazard is mostly unexplored. We collected data on sea snake landings from the Gulf of Thailand, a hotspot for sea snake harvest by squid fishers

Nature, 1931
IN a communication on this subject in NATURE of Oct. 11, 1930, p. 568, Dr. Smith discusses my note on Laticauda colubrina. I am quite aware that Dr. Smith's statement that all sea-snakes are viviparous was something more than a mere reiteration, but I consider that both he and previous authors have generalised from insufficient data.

Role of tyrosine in sea snake neurotoxin
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure, 1972Abstract The single tyrosine residue contained in the neurotoxin isolated from the venom of Lapemis hardwickii (Hardwick's sea snake) has been shown to be essential for toxic action through iodination and nitration. Similarities in the structure—function relationships of sea snake and some land snake venoms are, therefore, further indicated.

Nature, 1930
MR. SMEDLEY'S note on viviparity in the sea-snake (Laticauda colubrina) in NATURE of Aug. 30, p. 312, needs some comment. My statement (which he quotes) that all sea-snakes are viviparous was not a reiteration of that of previous authors, but a confirmation, based upon personal knowledge of the group.

A study on sea-snake venom phospholipase A
Toxicon, 1970Abstract A study has been made of the action of phospholipase A in heated sea-snake venom on purified phospholipids, and the phospholipids of plasma and intact muscle cell. The enzyme required activation by deoxycholate in order to achieve maximal hydrolysis of purified lecithin, phosphatidylserine and the phospholipids of human plasma.

Blood respiratory properties in a sea snake and a land snake
Australian Journal of Zoology, 1976Haematocrit, haemoglobin concentration, oxygen capacity, haemoglobin-oxygen affinity (Hb-O2) and buffer capacity of whole blood are examined in the banded sea snake, Laticauda colubrina, and the terrestrial black snake, Pseudechis porphyriacus, two ecologically divergent, but phylogenetically close, species. Oxygen capacity is indistinguishable between

Thermal biology of sea snakes and sea kraits.
Integrative and comparative biology, 2012Temperature probably had no direct effect on the evolution of sea kraits within their center of origin, a geologically stable thermal zone straddling the equator, but may have indirectly affected expansions and contractions in distributions beyond that zone through global fluctuations that caused alternation of higher and lower sea levels. The northern
