Geographic Distribution
In North America, this species is common in many places; it ranges from the great lakes to Hudson Bay, from the Mississippi river down to the Gulf coast and in the Colorado River from Alabama to Texas. Some studies find that in general, L. humilis tend to live in turbid, long, large lakes, which is evident by its geographic distribution. The orangespotted sunfish is found in the Canard River near Ontario, Canada, though it is an introduced species. In TX, this species has been introduced in the past as far south as the Rio Grande basin.

Famous quotes containing the word distribution:
“The question for the country now is how to secure a more equal distribution of property among the people. There can be no republican institutions with vast masses of property permanently in a few hands, and large masses of voters without property.... Let no man get by inheritance, or by will, more than will produce at four per cent interest an income ... of fifteen thousand dollars] per year, or an estate of five hundred thousand dollars.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
