This study refers to the common carp (Cyprinus carpio), which is an adaptable species that enriches the variability of quantitative and qualitative characteristics and increases genetic diversity. Local aquaculture populations of common carp, called "landraces," have developed due to different environmental conditions and breeding efforts. However, the introduction of carp in some areas has led to negative impacts on natural aquatic ecosystems. To improve the quality of economically important fish species, the variation in morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics is utilized. In this study, a patent application for a system for reproduction, selection, and growth of fish fry with the simulation of natural conditions is described. The article explains the method used to replicate the natural aquatic environment and create viable products with high genetic adaptability to its conditions. The process falls into the category of extensive aquaculture, promoting sustainable aquaculture by increasing the percentage of ecological and environmentally friendly productions. The study concludes with the results and the development of a set-up of the station for laboratory use.
