The tertiary consumer tuna will receive 13,500 Kcal of energy.
This is calculated by taking 10% of the energy available at the previous trophic level, which in this case is the lantern fish (135,000 Kcal), since the tuna is a tertiary consumer.
135,000 Kcal x 0.10 = 13,500 Kcal
Using the ten percent rule, determine how many kilocalories of energy the tertiary consumer tuna will receive.
