This review was focus on the Ethiopian aquaculture circumstances. Its aim was to assess aquaculture potential, status, constraints and future prospects in Ethiopia. Aquaculture not only in Ethiopia but also in many countries of the world can plays a great role in providing additional food and employment for the rising world population. Moreover in developing countries like Ethiopia it plays a lion share in food supply and poverty alleviation strategy. Beyond this it can serve as one of the best alternatives mitigation mechanism of the over-exploited natural aquatic resources. In Ethiopia, eventhough there was enormous potential for aquaculture production, it remains more potential than actual practice. Currently, there was no this much plentiful production of aquaculture in this country i.e. the country Ethiopia didn`t benefited from this sector. For the insignificant production of aquaculture in Ethiopia there were a number of challenges which contribute for this records. But there are different proposed preconditions by the government of Ethiopia to improve the fishery products by aquaculture supplements. Generally since aquaculture can play a great role for the development of the country Ethiopia, the government must give attention and form suitable environment for adequate production from aquaculture.
