Abstract: As the most popular model of rice-fish system (RFS) in China, the rice-crayfish system (RCS) has been shown to theoretically increase economic output and improve the ecological integrity of farmlands. Despite its importance, there are some issues to address. Many studies have been done based on the field experiments; however, present work was a comprehensive multistage survey which covered larger areas. Estimating the environmental efficiency (EE) of farmers' RCS and analyzing its limiting factors deserves more attention as farmers' behavior plays a key role in this respect.
