Abstract: Due to considerable economic benefits and green and high quality agricultural products, the integrated farming of rice and aquatic animal, with the scale rapidly expanding and the model continuously enriched in the past decade, has become an important rice cropping system in China. Soil quality and rice yield level of the integrated farming of rice and aquatic animal have always been the focus issues for the government and researchers. This article reviewed the impact of integrated farming of rice and aquatic animal on soil properties and rice productivity, and put forward the research prospect of integrated farming of rice and aquatic animal in order to provide a reference for maintaining healthy soil quality and stabilizing rice yield under integrated farming of rice and aquatic animals, and there by promoting high-quality development of the industry integrated farming of rice and aquatic animal.
