Need fish-safe clear coat on steel

I'm working on a commision for a steel sculpture to be placed in a pond with fish. I usually patina my work and coat with a 2 part industrial clearcoat. My client is concerned about the toxicity of the coating over time. Do I need to look into powder coating or other sealant?

I too am looking for the exact same thing. Someone recommended Acrylic Urethane....or Epoxy. Let me know if you hear anything more.
