  • Title: Ichthyotoxicity caused by marine cone snail venoms?
    Author: Mebs D, Kauferstein S.
    Journal: Toxicon; 2005 Sep 01; 46(3):355-6. PubMed ID: 15990144.
    Abstract:
    Ten venoms from marine cone snails were tested for ichthyotoxic effects on zebra fish (Brachydanio rerio) when added to the water. Only two venoms, from Conus capitaneus and Conus episcopatus, produced lethal effects at high concentrations (50-300 microg/ml) within 20-90 min. No sedative or hypnotic symptoms were observed. The experiments confirm that Conus venoms exert a quick and prompt activity only by parenteral injection into the prey as it is performed by the snail.
