Abstract:
The primary global source of food fish production is now aquaculture due to the ongoing depletion of wild fisheries. There is relatively little information available about the use of aquadrugs in Indian aquaculture. The present survey performed between 90 days which focused on the aquadrugs, chemicals used in Dhamdha in Durg, Chhattisgarh by using semi structured questionnaire. The aquadrugs usage/ton fish production was calculated for each product. A total of 13 different product such as chemical and biological products (4 Water and soil treatment compounds, 4 Probiotics, 3 feed additives, 2 Sanitizer) were documented. The farmers surveyed regarded chemical supply stores as vital information sources, therefore improving chemical retailers’ knowledge and ability to provide farmers with better diagnostic services is crucial.
