This is a hard one?. I had a google look and could only find the site below in the UK. Other than that i can only recommend the Water Garden Centre on Langsett Rd.

Do you have any plants hanging over the pond that may be toxic to the fish? Koi are usually a bit stonger than most fish, and will survive a little longer than most in toxic conditions!

Never heard of this fish being kept but its spelt sturgeon. This may help with your research. Are you starting a caviar business?
