“…From the research findings of Hasan (2014) and Ahmed et al (2014) in Bangladesh there 7 categories and 34 types of chemicals used in aquaculture. Chemicals were used as pond preparation, disinfection, oxygen supplement, growth promotion, antibiotics and disease treatment which were nearly similar to the findings of Faruk et al (2008), Hasan (2014) and Ahmed et al (2014). In the present investigation it was recorded that 82% farmers used chemicals during pond preparation, 32% farmers used oxygen supplier, 55% farmers used growth promoters and 58% used chemicals for disease treatment (Figure 1).…”

“…According to Faruk et al (2008) and Subasinghe et al (1996) lime, urea and TSP were important for the proliferation of algae. In the present study, farmers also used some commercial drugs for gas removal such as geotox and zeolite having positive effect of 80% and 85% respectively (Table 1).…”

“…Traditionally farmers use drugs including lime, urea and TSP for pond preparation and potassium permanganate, tetracycline, oxytetracycline, formalin, salt and lime for health management and disease treatment (Hasan andAhmed, 2002 andPlumb, 1992). Recently various types of commercial aquaculture-drugs such as geolite, JVgeolite, mega zeo, benzo, aquazet are using for pond preparation, oxy-flow, oxymax, biocare, quick oxygen, oxy-plus use for oxygen supply (Faruk et al, 2008). Several types of antibiotics and probiotics are used for health management.…”

The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of aquaculture-drugs and chemicals on health and production of prawn in Narail district. Data were collected through questionnaire interview, market survey and focus group discussion from June to December 2014. Six categories and 28 types of chemicals were found in the chemical shops as well as used by the farmers. Chemicals used in pond preparation, equipments disinfection, oxygen supplementation, growth promotion, antibiotics and disease treatment. Eco-solution, malachite green and melathion were used in the treatment of viral diseases having 85%, 70% and 65% recovery respectively. Potassium permanganate, oxytetracycline and renamycine had 86%, 80% and 75% recovery respectively against protozoan and bacterial diseases. Clinically prawn appeared normal greenish in control ponds, whereas, in chemical treated prawn appeared yellowish brown and grayish color. Histology of muscle of control prawn were almost normal except some vacuums, however, chemical treated prawn muscle had remarkable pathological changes like necrosis, vacuums and pyknotic cells. Prawn production was 85 kg/acre in control ponds, 150 kg/ acre in lime-urea treated ponds and 450 kg/ acre in chemical treated ponds.

“…Moreover Aqua Savor and Aqua Grow-P were used against malnutrition as well as to improve health of fish. Faruk et al (2008) observed that Aqua Boost and AC Mix Super-Fish also had disease preventing ability in fishes. The authors farther mentioned that growth promotors like Vitamins, Minerals and Phospholipids enhanced in growth and survival of cultured fishes.…”

Abstract:In order to investigate present status of aqua chemicals and drugs used in various aquaculture activities in Zakigonj upazilla, Sylhet. A survey was conducted, with carp polyculture, tilapia and catfish farmers, aqua-medicine sellers, representatives of pharmaceuticals companies, from July 2014 to November 2014. Each group consisted of 25 respondents. According to the survey the most common dose of lime used by the farmers during pond preparation (62.67%) and culture period (53%) is 0.5-1 kg/40m 2 . Urea and TSP used by the farmers mostly during culture period with most common dose of 100-150g/40m 2 (37.3%) and 50-100 g/40m 2 (68%) respectively. Various categories of aqua drugs and chemicals were identified that were used by fish farmers for different purposes such as water quality management, disinfectants, improve dissolve oxygen level, disease treatment, antibiotics and growth promoter. Many pharmaceutical companies were found to provide these aqua drugs and chemicals with different trade names to fulfill the farmers demand. For pond and water quality management lime, urea and TSP are mostly used. Bleaching powder, Timsen, EDTA, Polgard, Virex, Aquakleen, Germnill, Pond safe were widely used as disinfectant. Health management and disease treatment were the major activities where farmers were seen to use a lot of chemicals. A range of chemicals including antibiotics were found available in market and being used in the aquaculture sector. Commonly found traditional chemicals in heath management included Potassium permanganate, Lime, Salt, Virex, Timsen, Aquakleen, Germnil, Pond Safe, Deletrix, Spa, Albez, Ablez were used regularly for disease treatment. Mostly used antibiotics are Renamycin, Oxysentin 20% Chlorsteclin Oxy-D Vet, Aquamycin, Orgamycin 15 %, Orgacycline-15% etc. Major active ingredients of these antibiotics were oxytetracycline, chlorotetracycline, amoxicillin, doxycycline etc. There are approximately fifty two pharmaceutical companies have been recorded to market around 300 products. Most of the products have been marketed from different countries like USA, Thailand, Malaysia, Belgium and China etc. The study also indicated some problems associated with the use of such chemicals due to lack of knowledge of farmers about the use of chemicals, appropriate dose, method of application and their indiscriminate use of chemicals. The study also highlighted the names and approximate price of aquaculture chemicals available with the chemicals sellers in Zakigonj, Sylhet.
