Most fish have various forms of parasitic worms that can be passed to humans including very common fish like cod, salmon and halibut. When they are flash frozen to a temp of -Whataver, they are killed. There is no such thing as fresh salmon or tuna served raw in restaurants or stores. That fish has been frozen.

And your article states "freezing to -0" - clearly referencing home production/storage. Below that, it says below -0 kills parasites. Seafood processors flash freeze whole fish, steaks, filets etc at a temp of something like -40 / -50.
