RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
REGALECIDAE. Regalecus glesne Ascanius, 1772: recent local stranding. TRACHIPTERIDAE. A comprehensive study has been made of seven Tasmanian dealfish determined as Trachipterus arawatae Clarke, 1881. Unfortunate misapprehensions by Australasian authors of the status of the genera Trachipterus Gouan, 1770, Desmodema Walters & Fitch, 1960 and Zu Walters & Fitch, 1960 have led to widespread and continued confusion regarding deal fishes in the local literature: a chronological synopsis of emended names is provided.
the genus Zu is here recorded for the first time from Australian waters, a specimen from Stanley being provisionally determined as Z. cristatus (Bonelli, 1820). EMMELICHTHYIDAE.
Emmelichthys nitidus Richardson, 1845: general observations on an example about two-thirds grown. PEMPHERIDAE. Parapriacanthus elongatus (McCulloch, 1911): general observations, special reference to coloration. SOLEIDAE. Zebrias fasciata (Macleay, 1882): two additional local records; some unusual features.

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.
