title: Marine envenomations. Part 2--Other marine envenomations.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Australian waters contain a variety of venomous creatures, including jellyfish, stinging fish, blue-ringed octopus, sea snakes, cone snails and stingrays.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  Part 2 of this article focusses on common marine envenomations other than jellyfish stings.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Even though mortality from these envenomations is low, there is a high level of morbidity especially with stonefish and other stinging fish envenomations. Some envenomations, however, are serious enough to require antivenom treatment and deaths still occasionally occur.
