Abstract
Today, fish farming creates significant impacts on water resources and food chain from a global perspective, as compared to those of the other agricultural activities. Some methods and chemicals heavily using production and consumption periods in fish farming are related to the environmental damages. Chemicals have a common usage in both the world and our country to protect the products from the negative effects of diseases. They are also imposed to increase the production. As Turkey has significant potential in fish farming in comparison to many other countries in the world, there is a wide use of antibiotics in production. This research examines the use of antibiotics in fish farming to shed light on the effects of chemicals on the production and human health.Keywords
