A Preliminary survey of 21 Ceylon lakes. 2. Limnology and fish production potential
Some morphometric, physical and chemical conditions of 21 lakes in Ceylon are described. The values for the organic matter in the plankton and for the dry weight of bottom fauna in the lakes have been calculated. These values have been utilised to evaluate the potential fish production figures for the lakes. Fishing trials were made in each lake. Suggestions regarding mesh sizes and time of fishing are put forward.
