    Tuna are an important fishery resource in the exclusive economic zones of Maldives and Sri Lanka. In June 1984, a working group comprising representatives from the two countries met in Sri Lanka to take stock of available knowledge on tuna, identify gaps in that knowledge and evolve a workplan to fill the gaps. These were summarized in BOBP/WP/31. The present report covers later investigations and updates knowledge on the tuna resources in the EEZs of Maldives and Sri Lanka. During this wor k, the working group met in Male, Maldives (October 1985) and in Colombo, Sri Lanka (September 1986). These meetings discussed the sampling programmes conducted by Maldives and Sri Lanka. This report, as well as the meetings of the tuna working group and the sampling programme were sponsored by the “Marine Fishery Resources Management” component (RAS/81/051) of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP). The project commenced January 1983 and terminated in December 1986. It was funded by the UNDP ( United Nations Development Programme). Its immediate objective was to improve the practice of fishery resources assessment among participating countries (Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia) and to stimulate and assist in joint management activities among countries sharing fish stocks.
