Predicted levels of histamine (ppm) accumulation due to growth of Morganella psychrotolerans on FFP when transported/stored in tubs or boxes based on the observed time/Temperature profile in experiment 1 of the ‘Qualitubfish’ project (Bekaert et al., 2016a)

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Middle fish | Middle fish | Bottom fish | Middle fish | Top fish | Range (min–max) | |

a
A positive value indicates a greater histamine accumulation (ppm increase) in tubs compared to boxes, while the opposite is true for the negative values.
