The fishing industry says restaurants and fish markets around the country are scrambling to secure orders of barramundi, mud crab and threadfin salmon after a snap decision by traditional owners closed key Northern Territory waters.

Mr Berryman said the lockout would have a significant impact on fish stocks around the country.

"I would think we would see a drop of about 60 to 70 per cent of our fresh stock coming out of Darwin, so it will be mainly frozen stock this year." "We've lost an area, we can't afford to lose any other areas around the coastline, so we have to learn from this experience," she said."We need to understand why the answer was no and unpack that and learn from that."The ABC has approached the ministers for Fisheries and Aboriginal Affairs but both were unavailable to be interviewed.
