In this paper, we study an integral system involving $m$ equations $$\left\{ \begin{aligned} u_i(x) &= \int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\frac{u_{i+1}^{p_{i+1}}(y)}{|x-y|^{n-\alpha}}{\rm d}y, \quad i=1,2,\cdots,m-1, \\ u_m(x) &= \int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\frac{u_{1}^{p_{1}}(y)}{|x-y|^{n-\alpha}}{\rm d}y, \quad m\geq3,\ n\geq1, \end{aligned} \right. $$ where $u_i>0$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $0<\alpha<n$, and $p_i>1 \ (i=1,2,\cdots,m).$ Based on the optimal integrability intervals, we estimate the decay rates of the positive solutions of the system at infinity. But estimating these rates is difficult because the relation between $p_i \ (i=1,2,\cdots,m)$ is uncertain. To overcome this difficulty, we obtain the asymptotic behavior of all cases by discussing them separately. In addition, we also get the radial symmetry of positive solutions under some integrability condition.
