Much has been written on the introduced species and their impact on the fisheries of Sri<br />

Lanka in the last two decades. As such no attempt is made here to deal with this subject, again,<br />

as there is very little available in the way of fresh information. The readers are therefore, directed<br />

to the following references.<br />

strategy and ecological implications. Aquaculture and Fisheries Management 16: 91-102.<br />
