The Bloomfield River Cod has a very restricted distribution, and is known only to occur in an ~8 km section of the main channel of the Bloomfield River upstream of Bloomfield Falls (EOO = 12 km2 and AOO ~12 km2 , assuming 2 km grid cells). There is however a continuing and prominent threat of fish species introductions that could result in a decline in the number of mature individuals at its one location, leading it to become Critically Endangered within a short timeframe. It is therefore assessed as Vulnerable D2.The Bloomfield River Cod has a very restricted distribution, and is known only to occur in an ~8 km section of the main channel of the Bloomfield River upstream of Bloomfield Falls (EOO = 12 km2 and AOO ~12 km2 , assuming 2 km grid cells).
