 In Sri Lanka, the government is aiming to double fish consumption per capita from 11 to 22 kg per year by the end of 2014 to boost dietary protein levels.

To support this, researchers from Wayamba University, the University of Calgary, and the British Columbia Aquatic Food Resources Society are working with provincial ministries in the country’s North Western and Eastern Provinces to develop production of shrimp and oysters and rearing of fish in seasonal reservoirs.

SMS messaging and a web platform have been developed to provide shrimp farmers with vital production information, such as minimizing disease risks. Ten communities have benefited from a pilot fish rearing project, harvesting an average of 4000 kg of fish from their 10 hectare reservoirs within 6 months.

Development of community mini-nurseries for fish fingerling production is now underway. A further pilot project has worked with women in two coastal communities, training them to rear oysters to a marketable size within 12 months. The oysters are sold to domestic and export markets; further work is now being done to identify and address production risks for oyster culture.

Scandinavian Influence on English Language

Viking colonization (Scandinavian) of the British Isles had a considerable effect on the English language and vocabulary.

Even today, after hundreds of years, we can still see the evidence of Scandinavian influence.

English has been influenced by many languages and one of them is Scandinavian.

Vikings were the Germanic tribes of the Scandinavian Peninsula and Denmark.

Vikings conquered large areas of England.

 Scandinavian place-names

Many places in today England bear Scandinavian names (more than 1,400).

 There are more than 600 places with names ending in -by (such as Whitby, Grimsby).

Scandinavian word thorp that means 'village'

(Althorp, Bishopsthorpe, Linthorpe)

There are almost as much place-names that contain the word thwaite, 'an isolated piece of land' (e.g. Applethwaite, Langthwaite). Around a hundred end in toft, 'a piece of ground, (Brimtoft, Nortoft).

Even personal names bear witness to the Scandinavian influence. Names with the suffix -son like Stevenson or Johnson
