Massive ‘Saalaya’ fish haul in Negombo
Fishermen operating small boats in Negombo have reportedly caught unusually large quantities of ‘Saalaya’ fish in their nets yesterday (Aug. 10).
The large catch created a challenge for boat owners, who had struggled to find enough labourers to sort the fish from the nets.
As a result, fishermen were reportedly forced to sell the fish directly from their boats at around Rs. 450-500 per kg.
