Information on Sea Snakes
The latest information about banded and yellow-bellied sea snakes is not easy to come by beyond the scientific _ journals. A new book" on the sea snakes of New Caledonia — where both species are common — provides fascinating detail on their lives and ecology, (and of the other 12 New Caledonian species). There are in-depth chapters on the origins and biology of sea snakes in general, and the risks and treatment of snake bite. Lavishly illustrated, Pierre Laboute’s stunning underwater colour photographs reveal these animals as they are rarely seen. *[lvan Ineich and Pierre Laboute, 2002. ‘Sea snakes of New Caledonia — Les serpents marins de_ NouvelleCalédonie’. IRD Editions (Collection Faune et Flore Tropicales 39), Paris. 303 pp. HE, 26 x 21 cin, full colour, bi-lingual; approx. NZ$100]
