Murray cod can live in surprisingly different habitats.
Contrary to popular belief, Murray cod can live in quite cool, clear, rocky fast-flowing streams at medium, high and sometimes even very high altitudes. These are what are called "upland" rivers. Many populations of Murray cod in upland streams have died out, but some still exist.
Murray cod also survive in warm, slow rivers on the riverine plains. These are what we call "lowland" rivers.
Murray cod also survive well in lakes and reservoirs of all kinds, though they do not seem to breed successfully in them.
In rivers Murray cod require a little bit of depth, and shelter in the form of rocks and rock structures in upland rivers, or sunken timber in lowland rivers.
Murray cod will generally not survive in rivers that have been severely silted up with sand or silt as there is no depth or structure for them. Riparian (river bank) vegetation is quite important too. Removing snags has left many rivers without Murray cod habitat. While Murray cod can survive naturally cool streams, they cannnot survive thermal pollution, where big reservoirs release freezing water from their base and make rivers unnaturally cold for several hundred kilometres downstreams.

How do camouflage and protective coloration adaptations affect an organisms survival and reproduction?
Camouflage and protective coloring adaptations improve an organism's chances of survival and reproduction.
How do adaptations determine how successful an organism is within an environment?
Adaptations help organisms survive and reproduce in their environment by providing characteristics that increase their chances of survival, such as camouflage, speed, or specialized body structures. The more well-adapted an organism is to its environment, the more successful it is likely to be in terms of survival and reproduction. Over time, successful adaptations can lead to evolutionary changes in a population, enhancing its overall fitness within that environment.

How do you find the sex of male or female Murray cod?
If you kill a Murray cod, you can tell if they are male or female by cutting them open and by looking at their gonads, which are their reproductive organs. However, this is a very bad idea considering how rare Murray cod are. If you are not prepared to kill a Murray cod, you will not be able to tell if it is male or female, either by size or appearance, for most of the year. (Male and female Murray cod look the same and grow to basically the same size.) However, for several months in late winter/early spring female Murray cod can be recognised because their belly region will be noticeably swollen with the large eggs they are carrying and their vent will be swollen and purple or red.
What happens to the Murray cod when water salinity are increase?
Murray cod are actually very tolerant of rising salinity levels. As a matter of fact, aquariums which keep Murray cod add small amounts of ordinary sea salt to the water because it imrpoves the health of the fish and minimises bacteria in the water.
