Only mature individuals of L. vorax female were used to estimate absolute-relative fecundity and measure eggs diameters of very ripe gonads. Absolute fecundity ranged from 77612 eggs at 56 cm in total length (1672 g) body weight to 378391 eggs 79.5 cm in total length and (5001 g) boy weight. Highly significant differences relationships were observed among to total length, body weight and reproductive parameters. The relative condition factor differs from 0.85±0.11 in October to 1.37±0.09 in June.

Mangroves are extensively used to extract twigs and branches for the construction of “Brush piles”, the predominant fishing devices in the Negombo estuary, Sri Lanka, believed to have one major impact on the vegetation structure followed by the changes in primary productivity and carbon assimilation capacity of the ecosystem. Present study was conducted with an objective of quantify and relationships between the vegetation structure and Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) of disturbed and natural mangrove stands in the Negombo estuary. Vegetation structural parameters were gathered according to the standard procedures and the measurement of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) used to calculate the Leaf Area Index (LAI) followed by the GPP. Highest values of vegetation structural parameters, LAI and GPP were recorded from estuarine waterfront and decreased with landwards, which indicated more active vegetation is near by the estuarine waterfront. Comparatively, vegetation structural/structural complexity (CI) and GPP/carbon assimilation capacity were superior in undisturbed/ natural mangrove stands (31.86-36.65 Mg ha -1 y -1 ) than that was recorded in disturbed/ replanted mangrove areas (26.42-35.25 Mg ha -1 y -1 ) at Negombo estuary.

In the present study, the structure of the fish community associated with soft bottoms and the ecological role of the most dominant species was analyzed. Six bimonthly samplings were carried out in 11 localities from April 2013 to April 2014 resulting in 66 replicates, each time an experimental trawl net was used to capture the organisms and physicochemical parameters were recorded. 2,887 organisms belonging to 26 families, 38 genera and 46 species were captured.

A vertikultur method using bag nets is more effective and has higher production levels. This research aims to solve problems in cultivating Gracilaria sp seaweed by doing field optimization. Seaweeds were planted as many as 40 points for each 10 levels depth (BRL); 0, 70, 140, 210, 280, 350, 420, 560, and 630 cm from the surface. Environment and seaweed parameters were measured weekly. This research measures daily and weekly growth rate, absolute growth, and the total production. The data were analyzed using Anota test and BNJ further test . The research result shows that physic-chemistry water parameter is suitable for cultivating Gracilaria sp . The lowest weekly growth rate occurred in level BRL 10 in the first week while gaining weight as much as 9.351 gram/week. The highest growth rate occurred in level BRL 4 on the sixth week while gaining weight as much as 32.25 gram/week. The biggest absolute growth occurred in level BRL 4 with 214.87 gram and the lowest occurred in level BRL 10 with 161.45 gram. The biggest absolute growth rate occurred in level BR1 4 while gaining weight as much as 139.87 gram from the original weight and the lowest occurred in level BRL10 with 86.45 gram from the original weight. The best daily growth rate occurred in level BRL 4 with a growth rate of 2.53%/day and the lowest occurred in BRL 10 with 1.84%/day.

The biggest production was obtained from level BRL 4 with the production of 8595 gram and the lowest in BRL 10 with 6458 gram.
