REMARKS
Many advanced species of sea snakes have well developed venom apparatus and highly toxic venom.
The primary function of venom is to subdue prey, while defence is of secondary importance and therefore most bites experienced by humans are blank.
Minor venomations do not cause painful wounds or severe symptons, however severe envenomation can result in flaccid paralysis that may ultimately lead to paralysis of respiratory muscles.

How do Fish See
Fish have eyes very similar to a human, but not all have excellent colour vision. Shallow water fish, especially tropical fish, can see a broad spectrum of colours, however deep water fish are usually quite limited. Fish's eyes are positioned to allow excellent all round viewing, but some have their eyes on top of their heads, as they have a bottom dwelling existence.
