Geographic Distribution
Lepomis Auritus tends to be more of a cool river species, but also inhabits fresh water lakes and streams in Eastern North America ranging from Canada down the Atlantic slope to the Southeastern United States around central Florida. The sunfish species has been introduced as far west as Louisiana and Western Texas. Native range of the sunfish is a relatively large area with the species new introduction points not straying far from its native habitats. Eastern North America provides the Redbreast Sunfish with habitat and forage necessary to survive and thrive in its diverse native habitat.

Famous quotes containing the word distribution:
“The man who pretends that the distribution of income in this country reflects the distribution of ability or character is an ignoramus. The man who says that it could by any possible political device be made to do so is an unpractical visionary. But the man who says that it ought to do so is something worse than an ignoramous and more disastrous than a visionary: he is, in the profoundest Scriptural sense of the word, a fool.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
