AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Becke relates several anecdotes of poisoning resulting from handling or eating species of fish found in the Pacific region and on the Australian coast. He pays tribute to the knowledge Pacific Islander people have of these fish, some of which can be harmless at particular times of the year or in particular locations, and lethally poisonous at other times or in other places.
