Comment on chapter 4.

Through my experience in our society which is multy-racial some racial people prefer some varieties (I am talking about fish species) if those are not available at the market at the time, they come they go home without fish. it is cultural norm. And some days in a week they do not eat fish at all. In some area, especially in Kandy where Tooth relic temple located, people in surrounding area do not eat fish. it is also cultural norm. 

many people in the society in suburbs and city areas do not like to eat freshwater fish species due to feeling that smell is bad. 

In the southern part of the country men do not like engagement of women in active fishing and even active supporting to men activities but in Northern and Eastern part the situation is opposite the difference is culture and wealth of the family. 

political economy still men dominated some restrictions for women. Even men they do not have collateral to access formal financial institutions to get support for investment.
