Dangerous marine animals
of
Northern Australia
Introduction
The resource series on dangerous marine animals
of Northern Australia is intended to describe and
provide information about marine animals that
pose a threat to humans.
The series is intended as an
introduction to the various dangerous marine animals
of Northern Australia and a list of references is provided for
further reading.
Most marine
creatures are harmless to humans and those that
are a threat are not so because we are part of
their food chain. It is just because some
creatures by necessity employ some very toxic
means of disabling their prey and unfortunately
some of these toxins can be fatal to humans.
