This southern-hemisphere native may be the most widely distributed freshwater fish in the world. Galaxiids (the family this guy is in) are not distantly related to salmonids, and for a while during the 1980's were included in the sister taxon to Salmonidae. I've been reading too much about salmonid phylogenetic relationships, lately.
