Extra Distribution Information

Off Kalbarri, WA, to north of Cape Stewart, NT, and off Weymouth Bay, Cape York, QLD, to off south-western Tasmania; tropical, west Pacific. This essentially represents the distribution of the family in Australian waters, as the ateleopodids are yet to be closely examined.


Note that conversion of the original AFD map of states, drainage basins and coastal and oceanic zones to IBRA and IMCRA regions may have produced errors. The new maps will be reviewed and corrected as updates occur. The maps may not indicate the entire distribution. See further details below.
