Fish farming can be made environmentally sustainable through RAS. Thus, the purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview about RAS technology, system design, types, recent RAS developments along with scopes and challenges. The primary problems with RAS needs to be examined in order to provide farmers with improved solutions in the future. Potential areas for improvement and upcoming obstacles for the sector should also be noted for future research works.
