The estuarine stonefish is a fish that looks like a stone lying on the seabed. It lives in shallow reefs and estuaries across the Indo-Pacific, including northern Australia. It is considered one of the most dangerous venomous fish in the world, so it is important to know what it looks like.1

It is considered one of the most dangerous venomous fishes. Stings are extremely painful and have been known to be fatal. Since European settlement, there have been no recorded deaths in Australia from stonefish venom, but deaths have been recorded elsewhere in its range.1

Hol ko nde waɗata si nde hulii?

When disturbed, it erects its venomous spines, which inject venom if the fish is stepped on.1

Si gi'e mum naatii e ɓanndu maa

  • Antivenom can be given after envenomation. Immersing the sting wound in hot water can be used to denature the venom.1
