Underwater photographer takes picture of an Scorpionfish in the ocean of the Caribbean isle Curacao in the Netherlands Antilles. Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfish, are a family of marine fish that includes many of the world's most venomous species. As the name suggests, scorpionfish have a type of "sting" in the form of sharp spines coated with venomous mucus. The family has hundreds of different members. They are widespread in tropical and temperate seas, but mostly found in the Indo-Pacific. Curacao is an island in the southern Caribbean Sea, off the Venezuelan coast. The island area of Curacao includes the main island plus the small, uninhabited island of Klein Curacao ("Little Curacao"), is one of five island areas of the Netherlands Antilles, and as such, is a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Its capital is Willemstad. Curacao is the largest and most populous of the three so called ABC islands (for Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao) of the Lesser Antilles, specifically the Leeward Antilles. It has a land area of 444 square kilometres (171 square miles). As of 1 January 2008, it had a population of 140,796.
