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:
“My topic for Army reunions ... this summer: How to prepare for war in time of peace. Not by fortifications, by navies, or by standing armies. But by policies which will add to the happiness and the comfort of all our people and which will tend to the distribution of intelligence [and] wealth equally among all. Our strength is a contented and intelligent community.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
