Yes, local bred fish are more hardy to our water, certainly within a regional level. Imports tend to be reared in higher stocking densities, therefore parasite burden tends to be high as well. A health cert covers the breeder's establishment but not each individual batch of fish. Give me UK bred fish anytime regardless of quality.
