As an ecological farming model that integrates agriculture and aquaculture, integrated rice-fish farming has shown great potential in promoting green agricultural development, improving land use efficiency, and enhancing farmers’ economic returns in recent years. This study explores optimized rice production management strategies suitable for different ecological regions in China, focusing on the management structure, agronomic practices, nutrient regulation, environmental and economic benefits, and regional implementations of rice-fish systems. The findings reveal that through rational field design, coordinated crop-aquaculture management, and the optimization of water and nutrient control along with eco-friendly pest management, it is possible to simultaneously improve rice quality, enhance agricultural ecosystems, and increase farmers’ income. Based on representative models from Jiangxi, Guangxi, and Sichuan provinces, this study further proposes region-specific rice-fish management schemes with potential for wider application, providing valuable references for the development of an efficient, green, and sustainable modern agricultural system.
