41st All Japan Koi show

Steve Field of Avenue Fisheries was a judge at the recent All Japan Show. He was one of 7 judges selected to judge size 12, the largest show size for fish over 90cm long and the size group from which the major prize winners are chosen.

The Show was held in Niigata to commemorate the rebuilding of the Niigata Koi Industry five years after a major earthquake shook the region. The Grand Champion Koi was a Kohaku bred by Dainichi Koi farm. This fish had been runner up in 2009.
