Review: Excellent and extremly acurate scientific text with plenty of high quality photos.

I would like to see an update with more on the genetics currently being researched. Only complaint is that any book on fish should be safe around water like the 'Petersons Field Guides' are,

Review: I found the title of this book misleading. There is little to no relevant information on the breeding of koi from the hobbiest or small buisness owners perspective. The book provided information for large scale koi production using artificial fertilization and hatching methods.
