    The maximum legal temperature is -18deg C for transportation and storage. For tuna it should be well below this limit unlike other fish. You should not even imagine transporting or storing at -10 deg C.

      Good morning,

      This is regarding parasites in Red Tuna. Is there a published lethality table that deals with temperatures above -20C? FDA says -35C for 15 hours is a good as -20C for 7 days. But what if you could only guarantee -10C in the transportation chain? How many days at -10C would you need?

      I would appreciate it, if anyone can pass along any information regarding the above.

      Thanks and have a nice day!
