Abstract
Any large land mass combining within its boundaries a considerable range of topographic systems of a size commensurate with its area can be assumed to be a suitable region in which to appraise the processes tending to increase and the opposing ones tending to decrease the range of an animal species. Weatherley & Lake (1967) therefore examined the distributions of various teleost species introduced into Australian waters, in relation to the characteristics of their life cycles and their environments, to determine whether their observed ranges might be explained as a result of such limiting factors as absence of spawning substrates, unfavourable stream gradients and climatic extremes.
