The family Scorpaenidae (Scorpionfish) contains around 45 genera and 380 species. Scorpionfishes have large, heavily ridged heads and venomous spines on their back and fins.
Stonefish Antivenom (equine IgG Fab) can be used to treat envenomation from stonefish found in Australian Waters. It may also have a role in the treatment of bull rout, lion fish and cobbler stings.
