Aquaculture is a sustainable solution to respond to the increasing demand for animal protein and also, food security in the world, and today, in order to develop it, it is necessary to pay attention to the sustainable aquaculture approach (economically, socially and environmentally). The development of modern aquaculture systems has been greatly expanded in recent years and each of them pursues the goals of sustainable aquaculture in some way. In fact, modern aquaculture systems enable the achievement of sustainable aquaculture by maximizing the productivity of resources, reducing costs, appropriate production quantitatively and qualitatively, and a slight environmental effects. Among the systems introduced so far, recirculating aquaculture system, cages, aquaponics, biofloc and integrated multitrophic aquaculture systems are known as promising systems in aquatic production in the world that can be developed in Iran as well. In this review study, in addition to introducing and discussing the importance of these systems in sustainable aquaculture, the resulting opportunities and also, the challenges of developing these systems in the country are addressed
