Aquaculture is one of the fast-growing industries which largely relies on the introduction and use of non-native species. This form a paradox: on one hand, some species were significantly contributed to the fast expansion of aquaculture, while others were negatively affected due to unregulated and irresponsible use of non-native species. Although, lessons have been taken from reported disasters, risks raised have been highly overlooked. Sound management needs to be performed based on the characteristics of each aquaculture activity or related events. Aquaculture activities or related events, including (I) transfers of non-native species;(ii) fellow travelers, accidental introductions;(iii) artificial hybridization; and (IV) mass release of non-native species for ranching were popularly employed in the past decades almost all over the world. Each aquaculture activity or related events, had been transferred to more than 148 countries for aquaculture purposes, recreational fishing, improving wild stocks, ornamental purpose and biological control of unwanted organisms. For several species, movement was also accidental, mostly through a transport in sea vessel ballast. Introductions causes mostly fish interactions, environmental, and habitat alterations, genetic deterioration of wild and introduced stocks, pathologic agents co-transfer or socioeconomic impacts. When appropriately managed, species transfers can lead to great success. In this review provide general background and impacts of introduction has provided., Status of this activity, risks raised and recommendations for sound management has discussed.
