Abstract

Market Status and Uses of Aqua-Drugs and Chemicals in Aquaculture at Lakhsmipur, Bangladesh

Highlights

Freshwater aquaculture in Bangladesh primarily consists of pond aquaculture, especially polyculture of both native and exotic species; coastal aquaculture, on the other hand, primarily consists of shrimp farming
Aqua Boost (Novartis Pharmaceuticals Ltd.) was used in 55%, Megavit aqua (Novartis Pharmaceuticals Ltd.) used in 28% and Charger gel (Fish tech BD Ltd.) used in 17% of the total cases (Figure 6)
The present study revealed that commercial aqua drugs have some positive impact on fish health management and disease treatment at farmer’s level

Summary

Introduction

Freshwater aquaculture in Bangladesh primarily consists of pond aquaculture, especially polyculture of both native and exotic species; coastal aquaculture, on the other hand, primarily consists of shrimp farming. Aquaculture production systems in Bangladesh are mostly extensive and extended extensive, with some semiintensive and, in a few instances, intensive systems. Aquaculture is the world’s fastest-growing food-producing industry, growing at a rate faster than any other animal-based food-producing sector. It has been extended, diversified, intensified, and technologically advanced in Bangladesh as well. In Bangladesh, with the growth of aquaculture, there has been a growing trend in the use of aquamedicines. Chemicals in aquaculture can be categorized based on their intended use, the form of species being cultured, the life cycle stage for which they are used, the culture method, the strength of the culture, and the people who use them [2]
