Abstract: Traditional aquaculture consumes a huge amount of water resources and nutrient substances, and subsequently leads to severe water pollution. Sustainable development of aquaculture can be achieved by developing new technologies for the rational use of water resources and nutrient elements as well as reducing negative impacts on the environment. The modern technology of aquaponics, known as the integration of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) with soilless cultivation (hydroponics), utilizes the ammonia nitrogen in aquaculture wastewater as the nutrient substance of hydroponic crops so as to achieve the dual purpose of wastewater treatment and the growth of plants. Aquaponics served as a model of agricultural modernization innovation can realize a win-win situation of fishing and agricultural food production. This review focused on the issues of aquaponics including its development history, global distribution, composition elements of system and key technical parameters. Furthermore, the research direction of aquaponics in the future was discussed.
