Ecological studies on the parasites of Etroplus suratensis (Bloch) (Pisces: Cichlidae) with special reference to Enterogyrus spp. (Monogenea: Ancyrocephalinae)
Brief history and background of aquaculture and fish health in Sri Lanka In the past, the Sri Lankan fish industry was mainly comprised of capture fisheries, with a heavy dependence on the marine section. Landings from inland fisheries increased enormously following the introduction of the tilapia O...
