Editor's note to the new edition published by Kessinger Publishing in 2010: 'The book "The Acclimatization Of The Salmonidae At The Antipodes: Its History And Results” was written by Arthur Nicols and published in 1882. The book provides a comprehensive account of the history and results of the acclimatization of the Salmonidae family in the Antipodes, which includes Australia and New Zealand. The author discusses the introduction of various species of salmon and trout to these regions and the challenges faced in acclimatizing them to the new environment. The book also covers the scientific and practical aspects of the acclimatization process, including the selection of suitable species, the transportation of fish, and the establishment of fish farms and hatcheries. Nicols also provides a detailed account of the impact of the acclimatization of Salmonidae on the local ecosystem, including the effects on native fish populations, the environment, and the economy. "The Acclimatization Of The Salmonidae At The Antipodes: Its History And Results” is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of fish acclimatization and its impact on the environment and economy of Australia and New Zealand.'
