Rice-crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) integrated farming is an important pattern of rice green production, and promotes improvement of rice industry quality and benefit, which can effectively promote the transformation and upgrading of rice industry. In recent years, it had expanded rapidly across many areas in China. However, yield and benefit of rice-crayfish integrated farming performed not steady currently, therefore technical level of rice-crayfish integrated farming, especially for the shortage of rice varieties suitable for different modes of rice-crayfish integrated farming with high yield and excellent quality, was urgently to be optimized. Some researchers have carried out studies on the selection of rice varieties under continuous rice-crayfish rotation or mutualism. This paper described the current research progress on rice variety selection under rice-fish integrated farming, discussed the characteristics requirements for rice variety from different rice-fish integrated farming modes, and proposed future development direction of rice varieties breeding and selection under rice-crayfish integrated farming. This paper could provide reference for improving quality and benefit of rice-fish integrated farming.
