[edit] Article Title

Please note that where a species of animal has a reasonably widely accepted common name, the agreed rule is that we use that as the title of the article. the Murray Cod certainly has such a name, so I have reverted the article to that name (also putting it in Initial Caps style while I was at it). seglea 04:11, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Disappearing Reference

Why did the reference Rowland (1989) disappear??? Codman 01:52, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Don't worry about it. It's still there. Codman 01:53, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

I've tagged this article to garner opinions on the writing style. I find much of it has an overly zealous tone which detracts from an otherwise comprehensive and detailed article. Garglebutt / (talk) 04:56, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

The article seems well written to me. What you seem to be regarding as "over zealousness" can alternatively be described as an accurate depiction of the plight of an animal that is under significant threat from a number of stressors, which are listed. What, exactly, are you objecting to?Nick Thorne 21:27, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Completely unwarranted nomination. If fisheries departments and their regulations are not conserving wild Murray cod populations adequately, and there is hard scientific evidence to support this, then it is perfectly reasonable to state this. Codman 01:51, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
