Abstract/ Executive Summary:

In order to investigate the impact of aqua drugs and chemicals used in fish hatcheries, Mymensingh and Jessore districts were surveyed. Data were collected through questionnaire interview with fish hatchery operators, technicians, workers and technical people of different pharmaceutical companies. Twenty two pharmaceutical companies were recorded with fifty six different aqua drugs which used in hatchery operation and can be categorized as disinfectants, growth promoters, disease treatment, oxygen suppliers, inducing agents (hormones), antibiotics and drug used during transportation of fish. Argulosis was the disease found higher in broods than other bacterial and fungal diseases in both districts. It observed that reduced amount of aqua drugs used in Jessore region than Mymensingh. Hatchery operators of both districts received knowledge and suggestions about aqua drugs and chemicals from Technical Service Officer of different drug companies and various activities of GOs and NGOs like DoF, BFRI, DANIDA (Danish International Development Agency) and Youth Development. It was observed that there were distinct impact of aqua drugs and chemicals on successful hatchery operation in Bangladesh.

Objectives:

To know the status of the most abundantly available aqua drugs and chemicals used for hatchery operation in Bangladesh.

Methodology:

The study was carried out in four upazillas of Mymensingh such as Mymensingh Sadar upazilla, Trishal upazilla, Tarakanda upazilla and Gouripur upazilla and Jessore Sadar upazila of Jessore districts. The study was conducted from August 2013 to July 2014. Two questionnaires were prepared, one for collection of data from hatchery operator and another for retailers. Data was collected through questionnaire interview, personal contact and market survey. Fifty questionnaires were used to collect information by focus group discussion (FGD) and personal contacts from fish hatchery owners of Mymensingh and Jessore districts. Ten drug shops of both districts were also investigated. The impact and recovery percentages of aqua drugs and chemicals were measured through the hatchery operator’s observations. After data collection, all the data were arranged in tabular form to fulfill the objectives of the study.
