Range and Distribution
The Queensland lungfish is native only to the Mary and Burnett river systems in south-eastern Queensland. It has been successfully distributed to other more southerly rivers including the Brisbane, Albert, Stanley, and Coomera Rivers, and the Enoggera Reservoir in the past century. The Queensland lungfish has also been introduced to the Pine, Caboolture, and Condamine Rivers, but current survival and breeding success are unknown. Formerly widespread, at one time there were at least seven different species of lungfish in Australia.
