Abstract: With increasing breeding scale and yield of aquaculture, pollution problems caused by aquaculture gradually draw world-wide attention. Aquaculture pollution is an important part of agricultural non-point source pollution. Effective control and protection is good for healthy and sustainable aquaculture development. America′s non-point pollution control is the lead of the world. In this paper, we briefly introduce the concept, content and applications of best management practices (BMP) in America′s aquaculture. Besides, we analyze 2 management methods of BMP in engineering and non-engineering, especially describing the concerned key issues. Finally, we emphasize the importance of applying BMP in China′s aquaculture.
