Murray Cod
The Murray Cod is a large freshwater fish native to the Murray-Darling Basin in Australia. It is known for its distinctive green and yellow coloration, which helps it blend into its riverine habitat. This species can grow up to 1.8 meters in length and weigh over 100 kilograms, making it one of the largest freshwater fish in Australia.
Murray Cod are carnivorous and primarily feed on smaller fish, crustaceans, and insects. They are an important species for both ecological balance and recreational fishing. Due to overfishing and habitat loss, their populations have declined, leading to conservation efforts to protect this iconic Australian fish.
