Australia's biggest seafood outlet will open for business this Easter under special COVID-19 restrictions that include a limit on the number of customers within a retail outlet at any one time.
Breaking down the latest news and research to understand how the world is living through an epidemic, this is the ABC's Coronacast podcast.
According to Kerry Strangas from the Master Fish Merchants Association, prices collapsed last month after restaurants and the food service industry stopped trading. "The prices have steadied again, there's not as much product so the fishermen are getting a reasonable price and a fair price," Mr Strangas said.He said if prices collapsed it would be dire.
"Then the industry is gone because you're not going to get out of bed if you don't get what you deserve for your product."
