Murray Cod Comeback

In 2013, the Riverina Highlands Landcare Network undertook some works on the Adelong Creek to improve habitat for native fish. As part of the project, Murray Cod fingerlings were also released. Murray Cod would have once been common in local waterways including Adelong Creek Declining water quality, introduction of exotic fish species and loss of native habitat, meant that these fish had not been recorded in the Creek for many years. With the help of the local community, Murray Cod fingerlings were released as the catalyst for the reestablishment of this iconic fish species. Ten years on, and despite dry years, floods and fire, the Murray Cod have survived and prospered!
