Abstract
This study aims to give a review of the present chemical use procedures in Dhamdha's aquaculture industry. Information was gathered and a survey of 41 fish growers was conducted. Using standardized questionnaires, a survey was carried out regarding the usage of chemical products from October 2023 to February 2024. It has been stated that chemical goods used in aquaculture include probiotics, disinfectants, sanitizers, feed additives and compounds for treating water and sediment. The study shows that, compared to other Chhattisgarh aquaculture-producing sectors, the usage of chemical products is still comparatively low, despite the rapid rise of commercial aquaculture in Dhamdha. However, the study found an enormous quantity of chemical substances that are used and that need to regulate and evaluated in terms of their possible effects on Animal health and the environment, as is already the case in the majority of industrialized nations.
