The 15-member Sri Lankan delegation from four coastal districts said that the Indian association had made an "implict" demand for a three year phasing out period from the neighbouring country's waters.
The demand that they be allowed to fish in Sri Lankan waters for 83-85 days per year for the next three years, especially in seas of Mannar and Palk Strait, was rejected, the Sri Lankan delegation said.
The delegation from Jaffna, Mannar, Mullaitivu and Kilinochchi districts of Sri Kanka also demanded compensation for "ecological and economical damages" incurred due to Tamil Nadu fishermen.
The Indian side comprised fishermen from Tamil Nadu, senior officials from the Centre and Tamil Nadu government.

"We have conveyed to the Indian side that their fishermen should not cross the International Maritime Boundary Line. No Indian fishing trawler should enter the Sri Lankan waters and any illegal poaching will not be tolerated.
"The Sri Lankan fishermen are not in favour of giving any kind of permits to fish in our waters. These are pre requisites for talks," he added.
