The use of chemicals, biologicals and veterinary medicinal products (VMPs) helps inhealthy and sustainable fish production. Information on the use of these products isessential for assessing farming practices, potential human health and environmentalrisks. A questionnaire-based nationwide survey covering aquaculture farms(n=2936) producing carps, tilapia, pangasius and rainbow trout in freshwater andshrimp in brackishwater estimated the use of 52 different types of inputs whichincluded disinfectants (597 g t 1), probiotics (2.28 kg t 1), environmental modifiers(22.82 kg t 1), nutritional supplements (1.96 kg t 1), natural anti-infective agents(293 g t 1), herbicide and piscicides (844 g t 1), antibiotics (2 mg PCU 1), antifungal(4 mg PCU 1), and antiparasitic (14 mg PCU 1) agents. The bulk of these inputs wasused for soil and water quality improvement and had low environmental and humansafety concerns. The multivariate analysis revealed significant variation in the fre-quency and quantity of compounds use among farm groups. Redundancy analysisrevealed a significant association between the number of products used and stock-ing density. The survey also showed a considerable influence of education andfarming experience on the usage pattern of aquaculture inputs. Results of the studyindicated greater reliance of farmers on the use of disinfectants for biosecurity,nutritional supplements for enhanced growth and environmental modifiers formaintaining soil and water quality in culture systems. Though there was no use ofrestricted antibiotics and antiparasitic agents, the development and implementation of standard regulatory guidelines are essential for safe and effective use of inputsfor sustainable aquaculture.
