Toxotes lorentzi is a tropical freshwater fish found in streams and swamps of the Northern Territory (Australia) and Irian Jaya (Indonesia).[1][2] It was first named by Weber in 1910,[2] and is commonly known as the primitive archerfish or Lorentz's archerfish.[3][4]
Because Toxotes lorentzi has wide distribution and no major widespread threats are known, IUCN considers it to be of "Least Concern".[1]
