Potamotrygon Liver size

[sam buckle]

A long shot, but does anybody have or has seen on the internet any tables of hepatosomatic relation (HSR%) of adult potamtrygonidae?

This is a way of expressing liver size in relation to body weight.
I just lost my male black diamond with no warning. I performed a basic autopsy and i have a feeling it was liver failure. I will post a proper thread with photos later once i have written it up after finding out some other facts.
This thread is for the above question only please, i will discuss the autopsy bit on the thread when i start it.

Thank you so much for that. I will post some pictures and info later re my rays death. That confirms my findings re the liver size.
