RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
Sportsmen fish the rivers and lakes of Australia for brown
trout which is an introduced species. The acclimatisation of
the trout into the Southern Hemisphere took place in 1864 when
ova from England arrived safely in Tasmania. Atlantic salmon
Salmo salar Linn., and brown trout, Salmo trutta Linn., hatched
from ova in the Salmon Ponds hatchery at Plenty. Nearly all the
Australian and New Zealand brown trout caught today can be traced
back to stocks once spawned in Tasmanian waters.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
