Correction: On 29th April 2015 the page numbers of this article were changed from 159-166 to 161-168.The present study was conducted to evaluate the impacts of aqua-drugs and chemicals on fish health and production in Mymensingh, Bangladesh from July 2013 to June 2014. Data were collected through personal contact, market survey, focus group discussion and participatory rural appraisal with fish farmers, associations and aqua-drug sellers. Fifty five different types of aqua-drugs and chemicals were recorded in the study area, among those, 20 types were widely used by the farmers for different fish disease treatment. It was recorded that renamycine, cotrim vet, ossi-c, polgard plus and timsen were used for the treatment of EUS in pangus, tilapia and koi which had an average recovery of 75-85%. For the treatment of edwardsiellosis in pangus and koi, farmers used potassium permanganate, timsen, polgard plus, geolite gold and renamycine which had an average recovery of 65-80%, and for the treatment of dropsy in tilapia, aquamycine, ossi-c and potassium permanganate were used which had an average of 80-85% recovery. Histopathology of gill and liver of fishes were almost normal in control ponds, whereas, in drugs treated ponds the organs had pathological changes like necrosis, pyknotic cells, hemorrhage, hypertrophy, lamellar missing, talengiactasis and vacuums. However, production of pangus, tilapia and koi was 12000 kg/acre, 15000 kg/acre and 14000 kg/acre in drug treated ponds respectively, whereas, it was 5000 kg/acre, 9000 kg/acre and 8000 kg/acre in non-treaded ponds respectively.Res.

The Impact

The present study was conducted to investigate the impact of aqua-drugs and chemicals on fish health and total fish production in Sherpur region, Bangladesh from July 2014 to June 2015. Forty nine different types of aqua-drugs and chemicals were recorded in the study area; among those sixteen types mainly ADDIC drugs and chemicals were widely used by the farmers for treatment of different fish diseases. It was recorded that GR Plus, Active Blue with Copper sulphate, ID Plus, Aqua c vit and H. vit plus were used for the treatment of EUS in Pangus, Shing and Thai koi which had an average recovery of 80-90%. For the treatment of Edwardsiellosis in Pangus and Thai koi, farmers used GR Plus, ID Plus, OTC power, Aqua c vit, H.vit plus and potassium permanganate which had an average recovery of 75-80%, and for the treatment of dropsy in Thai koi and Shing GR Plus, ID Plus, OTC power, Aqua c vit, H.vit plus and potassium permanganate were used which had an average recovery of 75-85%. Histopathology of liver and kidney of fishes were almost normal in control ponds, whereas, in fish organs from drug treated ponds had pathological changes like necrosis, pyknotic cells, hemorrhage, fat droplet, ilets of langerhens, degeneration of kidney tubules and vacuums. Total production of Thai koi, Shing and Pangus was 10,000 kg/acre, 10,000 kg/acre, and 13,000 kg/acre in drugs treated ponds; whereas, such value was 5,000 kg/acre, 4,500 kg/acre and 6,500 kg/acre in non-treaded ponds, respectively in the study areas. In control ponds, mortality rate was comparatively high and production was also low than drugs treated ponds. End of the experiment, it was observed that efficacy of drugs of Aqua Drug and Disease Information Centre (ADDIC) was excellent.Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. December 2015, 1(3): 600-606

Rural Appraisal

To understand the present status of fish diseases and their remedial measures taken by the fish farmers, a questionnaire survey and Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) tools including Focus Group Discussion (FGD) were conducted in seven districts of Bangladesh. In total 196 farmers were interviewed and nine FGD sessions were conducted. Disease occurs immediately after stocking (24%) and during the rainy season (21%) followed by cold season (19%). Mortality, abnormal swimming and feeding behavior, unusual appearance, some localized lesions and reduced growth are the main clue to recognize the fish disease. The most frequently observed diseases were epizootic ulcerative syndromes (18.72%) followed by tail and fin rot (13.19%), red spot (11.49%), gill rot (9.36%), parasitic disease (8.93%), broken prawn antennae (7.23%), and other environmental and nutritional diseases. To cure these diseases, farmers applied the following treatments: lime and potash, liming, lime and salt, lime alone, salt and potash, antibiotics, various chemicals, high doses of vitamin C, complete water exchange, and transport to another pond. This study showed that diseases can play important roles in freshwater aquaculture, but this role is often not recognized due to a lack of knowledge and veterinary backstopping services.Bangladesh J.

The present study was conducted to know the culture strategies and fish health and disease problems in pond aquaculture in Mymensingh, Bogra and Pabna districts of Bangladesh. Questionnaire interview and participatory rural appraisal tools like focus group discussion (FGD) were conducted with selected fish farmers. In total 90 farmers were interviewed and 9 FGD sessions were conducted. Most of the respondents practiced carp and pangas polyculture and they had disease problems in their ponds. Prevalence of fish disease varied with cultured species and locations. The most prevalent diseases as reported by the farmers were pop eye (57.78%), ventral reddening (55.55%), tail and fin rot (48.89), hemorrhagic lesion over the body surface (45.56%), dropsy (40%), gill rot (40%), white spot (40%) and epizootic ulcerative syndrome or EUS (33.33%). According to farmers opinion most susceptible species to disease was silver carp, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (57.78%); followed by mrigal, Cirrhinus cirrhosus (50%); catla, Catla catla (47.78%); sarputi, Barbodes gonionotus (47.78%); rui, Labio rohita (42.22%) and pangas, Pangasianodon hypophthalmus (42.22%). Higher mortality was found in pangas (53.56%). Clinically, pangas, koi and sarputi were found severely affected. Most of the farmers used some treatment measures against disease problems. This study also highlited some fish health management problems in pond aquaculture. Further studies should include identification and characterization of pathogens involved in different types of diseases in pond aquaculture. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jbau.v11i2.19944 J.

Abstract The efficiency of 14 different types of charcoals mixed with polyurethane foam (40% charcoal/60% foam, w/v) for the separation of photomirex and Mirex from Aroclor 1254 was investigated. Photomirex and Mirex were eluted with 10 mL cyclohexane from minicolumns containing 0.2 g charcoal- foam mixture. An additional elution with 10 mL benzene yielded Aroclor 1254. Average recovery using Norit C-170 charcoal-foam mixture was 99.1% for photomirex at the 1.0 μg level, 100.1% for Mirex at the 1.0 μg level, and 96.8% for Aroclor 1254 at the 3.0 μg level. For the other 13 charcoals investigated, recoveries from duplicate analyses were 47.0-115.5% for photomirex, 71.9-106.1% for Mirex, and 23.3-114.6% for Aroclor 1254.

ABSTRACTDementia is one of the greatest contemporary health and social care challenges, and novel approaches to the care of its sufferers are needed. New information and communication technologies (ICT) have the potential to assist those caring for people with dementia, through access to networked information and support, tracking and surveillance. This article reports the views about such new technologies of 34 carers of people with dementia. We also held a group discussion with nine carers for respondent validation. The carers' actual use of new ICT was limited, although they thought a gradual increase in the use of networked technology in dementia care was inevitable but would bypass some carers who saw themselves as too old. Carers expressed a general enthusiasm for the benefits of ICT, but usually not for themselves, and they identified several key challenges including: establishing an appropriate balance between, on the one hand, privacy and autonomy and, on the other: maximising safety; establishing responsibility for and ownership of the equipment and who bears the costs; the possibility that technological help would mean a loss of valued personal contact; and the possibility that technology would substitute for existing services rather than be complementary. For carers and dementia sufferers to be supported, the expanding use of these technologies should be accompanied by intensive debate of the associated issues.
