Abstract

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.
