Abstract

Parakrama Samudra is one of the major inland reservoirs under the Mahaweli development project at Polonnaruwa district, in Sri Lanka. More than 500 fisher families depend only on this lake for their livelihood. Bandiwewa is one of the seven small lakes of the Prakrama Samudra. In Bandiwewa alone there are 75 fisher families with forty traditional crafts. Their average catch is around 800 to 1000 kg daily. Smallscale fish traders come from Ratnapura and Ampara areas to buy fish from Bandiwewa.
