What are the characteristics Koi fish?

Since the Koi Carp did not evolve naturally but was developed by selective, line and cross breeding it does not have a natural place in nature. It is a fish, it has all the necessary characteristics in its physical make up to enable it to survive under the protective aquatic conditions provided by man. In the wild, their bright colours would undoubtedly result in them being easy prey to birds and other fish eaters. Over time this selective culling of the brighter coloured fish done by the predators in the environment would result in the fish returning to its natural colouring of a drab grey/brown back and a silvery underside.

What genus do salmon belong to?

Salmon belong to the particular body of water which they enjoy at the moment. This is because a young salmon develops from an egg which has been laid, amongst hundreds of others, by a female and fertilised by a male. This happens in sandy, shingly areas at the heads of rivers. When they are old enough they belong to the sea where they may remain for several years until they find their way back up the very same river which they left to go to sea. There, if they escape the nets and the salmon fishermen, they will fight their way upstream past all kinds of obstacles, like waterfalls, until they reach the same sandy, shingly river beds where they were born. There they ensure that many more young salmon will find their way to the sea once more, by laying or fertilising eggs again.
