The recirculating pond aquaculture system (RPAS) consisted of culture ponds, a purification pond, inflow ditch, outflow pipe, ecological ditch, and electrically driven pump. The performance of RPAS on grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) was explored in this study. In both the RPAS and the traditional pond aquaculture system (TPAS), water quality, fish growth performance, muscle quality, and tissue biochemical properties were assessed. Pond water was exchanged every seven days in RPAS and treated using a purification system that included an ecological ditch and a purification pond with a floating bed and aquatic plant. In RPAS, nitrate‑nitrogen, ammonia‑nitrogen, and nitrite‑nitrogen concentrations were lower than in TPAS. Fish cultured in RPAS exhibited significant higher growth rate and lower feed conversion rate. A significant increase in the expression of growth-related genes of myogenin (MyoG), myofactar-5 (Myf-5), insulin-like growth factor-I gene (igf-1), insulin-like growth factor-II gene (igf-2), and growth hormone receptor gene (ghr) were found in the fish cultured in the RPAS ponds. The content of malondialdehyde in either serum or liver and hepatic protein carbonyls content declined significantly in the RPAS ponds. The activities of T-SOD and GSH in liver and GSH in serum elevated significantly in RPAS fish. Muscular histological characteristics and texture profiles did not alter between two groups. The muscular contents of aromatic amino acids of aspartic acid and glutamic acid were significantly higher in RPAS than those in TPAS. It is inferred that RPAS is beneficial to promote fish growth, decrease oxidative stress, and increase muscle umami flavor.
