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.
