I know you think I'm messing with you because it's you, but this is entirely too long for tuna. I deal with a lot of tuna. On ice, it will not last more than a week, even in the bottom of the fridge.

It really depends on how it is stored. If it was whole tuna (H&G - headless and gutted so ice could go in head/gut cavity) kept in a vat of ice, it can easily last 2.5+ weeks. The color and freshness will suffer but it will still be good to eat.

Now fillets/loins, do not last as long as whole gutted and iced fish. I find the color changes on fillets (bloodline/flesh) much quicker once filleted/loined. I'm sure bacteria breaks the meat down quicker once filleted also.
