Abstract: Aquaculture is developed towards to land- based integrated farming and intensive pasture,and tends to elevate yields,quality and ecological benefitof production.Aquacultur-al environment is regarded highly. In this paper, we reviewed the environmental aspects in relation to aquaculture, and discussed the environmental engineering techniques being avail-able to industrial recirculating aquaculture systems. The zero discharge aquaculture system that will be based on aquatic ecological principles is recommended,which is aimed to develop aquaculture with environmental friendship. The aspectsof intensive aquaculture that must be paid attention are suggested.
