Serious natural predator

hi everyone,

I'd like to know what the word "serious" as in "While the fin whale has no serious natural predator in the animal world, their greatest threat comes from man" means.

Does it mean "extreme"?

Thanks in advance,

I understand it to mean that while there may be occasional predations (or attempted predations) on fin whales, there are no regularly or routinely successful predators.
