    Dear List member
        From the trade, i know not to process net caught tuna as the histamine
    levels in it are high. I know that if i process it into loins it would be
    rejected so I always use hook caught tuna. I kniw this but have yet to know
    the logic behind. . I also have a question regarding accepted sulphite
    levels in shrimps. We usaully use sodium metabisulphite, this year we have
    another compound which as i understand is more concentrated . its sodium
    pyrosulphite. if anyone would confirm the percentage of dilution and use. If
    anyone would shed some light on the subjects I would be truly thankful

    Best wishes and Regards
