Liver

[RadleyMiller]

is there any way to cut down the Semonila bacteria content in an aquarium setting?

UV sterilizer

also, remember what livers do. They filter the blood and remove toxins. The liver has high amounts of toxins in it, which is why eating liver is bad. I think liver is gross. Just feed frozen fish and shrimp!

actually the liver is a very nutritious part of the body

Both animal and fish livers are rich in iron, and vitamin A.

and the liver does not store toxins/waste

The various functions of the liver are carried out by the liver cells or hepatocytes.

The liver produces and excretes bile required for dissolving fats. Some of the bile drains directly into the duodenum, and some is stored in the gallbladder.
The liver performs several roles in carbohydrate metabolism:
Gluconeogenesis (the formation of glucose from certain amino acids, lactate or glycerol)
Glycogenolysis (the formation of glucose from glycogen)
Glycogenesis (the formation of glycogen from glucose)
The breakdown of insulin and other hormones
The liver is responsible for the mainstay of protein metabolism.
The liver also performs several roles in lipid metabolism:
Cholesterol synthesis
The production of triglycerides (fats).
The liver produces coagulation factors I (fibrinogen), II (prothrombin), V, VII, IX, X and XI, as well as protein C, protein S and antithrombin.
The liver breaks down hemoglobin, creating metabolites that are added to bile as pigment.
The liver breaks down toxic substances and most medicinal products in a process called drug metabolism. This sometimes results in toxication, when the metabolite is more toxic than its precursor.
The liver converts ammonia to urea.
The liver stores a multitude of substances, including glucose in the form of glycogen, vitamin B12, iron, and copper.
In the first trimester fetus, the liver is the main site of red blood cell production. By the 32nd week of gestation, the bone marrow has almost completely taken over that task.
The liver is responsible for immunological effects- the reticuloendothelial system of the liver contains many immunologically active cells, acting as a 'sieve' for antigens carried to it via the portal system.
Currently, there is no artificial organ or device capable of emulating all the functions of the liver. Some functions can be emulated by liver dialysis, an experimental treatment for liver failure.

I've never really tried to feed my fish live stock or poultry. Semonila is one concern and the fat content is another concern...but that's just me.

fish are not affect by salmonella, but you may be at risk

i bet you didnt know the fish fillets,shrimp and other meats we feed our fish do carry salmonella, even after its been defrosted
