在许多情况下,保持人们对锦鲤的爱好,吸引他们去饲养它的因素,就是锦鲤的颜色和花纹。这两个因素,在决定某些其他鱼的品质和价值上,也是非常重要的。然而,在我们对鱼,尤其对锦鲤着色的科学理解还是停止不前的,不准确的,甚至这些理解会因为一些理论、古老的故事和相对比较少的事实而泛滥成灾。 In many cases, keeping people’s love for koi and attracting them to raise it is the color and pattern of Koi.

However, the scientific understanding of our coloring of fish, and especially of Koi, is still unrealistic and inaccurate, and even these understandings can be flooded with theories, old stories and relatively few facts.
