Marine Stingers

The wet season is a time to be wary of marine stingers in Western Australia’s northern waters. In particular the Irukandji (Carukia barnesi) family.

Irukandji occur in tropical waters from possibly Bundaberg, certainly from Agnes Water, central Queensland and follow a similar distribution to Chironex, northwards through Queensland, across the Northern Territory and then south to Exmouth, Western Australia. They occur in the summer months. For further information on Marine stingers go to www.marine-medic.com.au
