I talked to my old office yesterday (imports Australian lobster into the U.S.).

They told me that since Asia is the primary market, the Aussies may actually just stop fishing and stop production - due to various Asian ports of entry flat out being closed off.

There, by extension, you have effects to the Australian fishing industry, and by further extension, the U.S. secondary market has no "cray tails" to sell.
