Comments: Rising water levels are not required to initiate spawning as originally thought (Ref. 27498) - it can take place in as little as 30 cm of water. Spawning takes place when water temperature reaches 20°C or above (Ref. 27444). Murray cod often prefer to spawn in protected sites (Ref. 27498).
