I know we've beaten the Domestic/Japanese horse to death and closed the stall door after it's out, but I've got one more burning question on this subject, more of a trivia thing and a whole lot of tongue in cheek:

If a Japanese koi farmer immigrates from Japan to here, bringing his native Japanese oyagoi with him, is his produce on our soil and in our water Japanese or domestic?

One would think they'd still be Japanese, since they're bred by a Japanese breeder and have 100% Japanese blood. But on the other hand, they're born here, which would make them American. Would we then have a hybrid Japanese/American koi?
