The artisanal, stake net fishery for shrimp in the Negombo lagoon, Sri Lanka, was studied over 2 years. There are around 22 sites, at which 57-63 stake nets can be fixed, at sites close to the sea mouth of the Negombo lagoon. The estimated mean catch rates of the fishery were 23.21 and 26.19 kg per operation in 1998 and 1999, respectively. The estimated annual fish productivity from the fishery reduced from 240 t in 1998 to 215 t in 1999. Subadults of penaeid shrimps formed 82% of the stake net catch. The net monthly income per fishermen varied from Rs. 5000 to 33 200 (mean — 13 667). In the Negombo lagoon stake net fishery, a mechanism for equity, sharing was formulated by the fishing community.
