Venomous and Poisonous Marine Animals: A Medical & Biological Handbook

This comprehensive, colour-illustrated volume covers the identification and biology of stinging and poisonous sea creatures, their effects on humans, the first aid and medical management of victims, and the prevention of envenomation in recreation and work. Written by contributors around the world under the auspices of the International Consortium for Jellyfish Stings, the book provides details suitable for marine biologists, divers, and fisheries officers. It should also be a useful resource for safety and first aid officers in all marine industries.
