Dongyang had specialized institutions for koi research; these people included full-time researchers from the Aquaculture Science Association and the Dongyang Koi Corporation, whose research facilities and funding far exceeded international standards.
The koi from Dongyang were indeed leaders in the industry, which was precisely why they were so full of themselves.
But Huo Sining didn't think that the local koi were without their advantages.
The genes of Japanese koi had become very mixed after numerous instances of crossbreeding, making them very frail and difficult to keep alive.
On the other hand, the local koi had always been in a natural growth equilibrium, making them much more robust compared to their Japanese counterparts.
Of course, the local koi also had their disadvantages, such as not having colors as bright or patterns as distinct as the Japanese koi, all of which were shortcomings of the local breed.
