RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
A trap was installed in the Plenty River, southern Tasmania, in order to investigate upstream fish movements. The trap was monitored from May 1978 to September 1979. The catch included the lampreys mordax and Geotria australis, the galaxiids Galaxias maculatus, G. truttaceus and G. brevipinnis, the sandy Pseudaphritis urvillii, the short-finned eel Anguilla australis, and a small number of blackfish Gadopsis marmoratus. The
significance and timing of the movements of each species are discussed and related to existing knowledge.

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.
