Tolerance of the three metals cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) by four microalgal species was investigated in three different culture media available in the literature together with a modified version in order to ...
• Gastrointestinal tract infection caused by Helicobacter pylori is a common virulent disease found worldwide, and the infection rate is much higher in developing countries than in developed ones. In the pathogenesis of ...
Culture‐based fisheries (CBF) are increasingly accepted as strategies for enhancing inland fisheries, especially in tropical Asia. In Sri Lanka, CBF development in irrigation reservoirs has gained momentum due to concerted ...

In Sri Lankan reservoirs, small, indigenous fish species (SIS) are abundant and can be differentially exploited using small mesh (15-38 mm stretched mesh sizes) gillnets without any detrimental effects on the cichlid ...
As in many tropical countries, reservoir fishery of Sri Lanka is dominated by the exotic cichlid, Oreochromis niloticus(Linnaeus, 1758). Oreochromis niloticuspopulations in irrigation reservoirs are ...
Oreochromis niloticus(Linnaeus, 1758) exhibits differences in demographic parameters across the reservoirs, resulting in inconsistencies in optimal fishing strategies. This study aimed at investigating ...
The utilisation of irrigation reservoirs for culture-based fisheries (CBF) development is a recent development in Sri Lanka. The trends in CBF development in five reservoirs were investigated, to identify ...
