The response by Anisakis pegreffii to storage temperature in anchovies was investigated.
The increase of A. pegreffii larvae in the fish flesh is positively related to the temperature.
The temperature plays a role in the post mortem motility of A. pegreffii larvae in anchovies.
A. pegreffii in the fillets of anchovies can be also the result of intra-vitam migration.
