In order to the concept of the ecological priorcty and green development, to transform the extensive mode of production in the past, we must vigorously carry out research and development of facilities and equipment to improve the level of equipent and technology in China. This is the only way to promote the healthy and sustainable development of Chinese aquaculture industry. This paper examines the applications of aquaculture facilities and equipment in China, the main problems in the development of aquaculture engineering, and key technologies for the improvement of aquaculture engineering application. Measures for future research and the continued development of aquaculture facilities and equipment are also proposed.
