Abstract
Marine fisheries is socially and economically significant around the entire 1 770 km coastline of Sri Lanka. The Exclusive Economic Zone of the country extends to 517 000 km2, of which some 2 800 km2 form the continental shelf. The marine area from the shore to the edge of the continental shelf is the coastal sub-sector. Annual sustainable yields from the coastal sub-sector have been estimated at 250 000 metric tonnes (mt) (170 000 mt of pelagic species and 80 000 mt of demersal species).
