摘要： Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), biofloc technology (BFT), and higher-place ponds (HPP) are considered as alternative technologies in addressing major environmental challenges linked to conventional Whiteleg shrimp farming systems. Global concern about energy consumption and carbon emission in aquaculture in-dustries, especially in countries like China. The application of life cycle assessment (LCA) in shrimp aquaculture, especially in comparing different shrimp production systems, is being used. In our study, surveys on three RAS, three BFT and nine HPP farms have been conducted, and the data inputs were used to establish a cradle to farm -gate LCA by means of software SimaPro 9.3.0.2 and CML-IA methods to evaluate the environmental perfor-mance. The methods are well suited to this LCA, as it focuses mainly on energy consumption input, pollution output, and ecological damage. A ton of live weight shrimp production did generate 4424.2, 4657.2, and 4965.6 kg CO2 eq; 21.8, 25.9, 36.2 kg PO4 eq; 38.7, 40.6 and 43.5 kg SO2 eq in RAS, BFT and HPP systems, respectively. Regarding the characterization and normalization results, eleven categories (abiotic depletion, acidification, eutrophication, etc.) were considered. In most impact categories, the results showed that HPP had the highest environmental impact per unit production when compared to RAS and BFT. Acidification potential (AP) and eutrophication potential (EP) were the top two contributing factors to RAS, BFT and HPP. And AP and EP is closely related to the production of electricity. Electricity was identified as primary contributors in all farming processes. Results indicate that BFT and RAS could be used in combination to reduce environmental impacts. In order to improve the environmental performance of these farming systems, feed ingredients substitution; feeding management and effluent treatment are among the suggested measures. In order to enhanced aquaculture LCI databases and support aquaculture LCA research, the life cycle inventory for shrimp farming were established.
