The price of fish has also increased due to the shortage of fish stocks from outside the Negombo Mankuliya fish market for the past few days.
Market sources said that even the price of salaya has increased in this context. A kilo of salaya was sold today for between Rs. 350 and 400.
In general, the most common fish seen in the fish market today was linna fish, and a price of more than Rs. 500 per kilo has been determined.
