The trials of bottom-set longlining off Sri Lanka are an activity of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP) for the Development of Small-Scale Fisheries, GCP/RAS/040/SWE. The work was carried out by the Research Division of the Ministry of Fisheries with technical guidance and assistance from the BOBP, which included the services of a fishing technologist (Mr. G. Pajot), a biologist consultant (Dr. G. H. P. De Bruin) and the Project Officer (Mr. B. W. Perera). The Ministry of Fisheries provided the services of a research officer, Mr. K. T. Weerasooriya, and other research staff. Messrs Samalanka provided a consultant master fisherman (Mr. Sandvik) and fishing gear and equipment for monofilament longline trials. Several boat owners cooperated by providing boats and crews. |
