	Scorpionfish: Masters of Camouflage by Henry C. Schultz III - Reefkeeping.com
		Continuing the theme of the November issue on venomous fishes, I'll be discussing a portion of the family Scorpaenidae.
		Lionfishes are in a subdivision of the family Scorpaenidae, the subfamily Pteroinae.
		Due to their sedentary lifestyle, it is possible that a Scorpionfish may choose a particular coral as a prime territory and the continued presence of the fish may cause injury or death to the coral.

		Background: The family Scorpaenidae represents a large array of fish characterized by the ability to envenomate with various types of specialized spines.
		It is helpful to consider the Scorpaenidae family as 3 distinct groups, based upon their venom organ structure and toxicity.
		Mortality/Morbidity: The severity of Scorpaenidae envenomations is progressively worse from Pterois to Scorpaena to Synanceia species.

	Group: scorpaenidae
		Scorpaenidae are a quite large fish family, present in almost all the world's seas.
		They are certainly not handsome, anyway many species are fascinating due to their shape and colour, and rank at the first places in the whishes list of many photographers.
		Scorpaenidae family, belonging to the Scorpaeniformes order, is characterized by large head and mouth, a spiny bony ridge on the cheek.

		rockfish, member of the large family Scorpaenidae (rockfishes and scorpionfishes), carnivorous fish inhabiting all seas and especially abundant in the temperate waters of the Pacific.
		Of commercial importance are the fl and orange rockfishes and the bocaccio of the Pacific coast and the rosefish (called also red, or ocean, perch and the John Dory) of the Atlantic.
		Rockfishes and scorpionfishes are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Osteichthyes, order Perciformes, family Scorpaenidae.

	Venomous Fish
		The Bullrout (Notesthes robusta) is a member of the family Scorpaenidae and is found in estuaries along the eastern seaboard of Australia (Cameron and Endean 1966).
		The literature indicates the venom apparatus of all varieties of Scorpaedinae is used defensively as it seems the expulsion of venom cannot be controlled by the fish (Endean 1961).
		While the family Scorpaenidae is distributed world wide and includes over 300 species of fish only about 40 varieties are found in Australian waters (Allen 1989).

		Pathophysiology: Common to the family Scorpaenidae are 12-13 dorsal spines, 2 pelvic spines, and 3 anal spines.
		However, there are more than 100 reported cases of captive lionfish (genus Pterois) envenomations in the medical literature, nearly all of which occur on the hands of unwary marine aquarists.
		No accurate estimates regarding the international frequency of Scorpaenidae envenomations are available; however, they are not uncommon.

	Lionfish Envenomations and the Aquarist by James Fatherree - Reefkeeping.com
		Yet, these members of the Family Scorpaenidae are well known around the world not only for their looks, but for their ability to strike an unlucky victim with venom-delivering spines, as well.
		The fact that lionfishes are collectively one of the most popular aquarium-kept fishes makes the potential for hobbyists to receive such injuries very likely.
		While all of the fishes that comprise the Family Scorpaenidae are indeed venomous, the members of the family can be split up into three general groups, each of which deliver venom of differing quantity and potency.

	Lions&Rels
		Except for the very real probability of getting stung by their venom bearing fins by being careless, the only downside of lionfish keeping lies in picking out healthy individuals and not overfeeding them.
		Lionfishes are members of the scorpion- or rockfish family Scorpaenidae ("Score-pea-nah-dee") a group of fishes important to humans as food fishes and sources of envenomation (the subfamilies Synanceinae, the Stonefishes, and Pteroinae, the Lionfishes, among others).
		The family Scorpaenidae's widespread importance is reflected in it's many colorful common names: Upside-Down Flying Cod, Butterfly Cod, Turkeyfish, Firefish, Scorpionfish, Zebrafish, Stonefish, Rockfish, among many others.
