This paper documents the operations and findings of experimental fishing with various types of fish traps conducted in Sri Lanka for three months during 1982 (August-December). The fishing trials were carried out by the small-scale fisheries project of the Bay Of Bengal Programme in cooperation with NARA (National Aquatic Resource Agency, Colombo). The trials were part of a wider BOBP-NARA joint project to assess the magnitude and composition of the island's demersal resources and determine the best way to tap them. |
