Locality : Southern Province. 
Description : This is the same as the jakottuwa, and is 
used under this name in rivers and estuaries of the Southern 
Province. Under Talpe pattu fishing rules {Gazette of Septem- 
ber 13, 1912), the kraals must not be erected upon navigable 
rivers and canals within 50 yards of each other. Each 
jakottuwa consists of a vertical rattan barrier leading into a 
number of traps (see Fig. 0).
