The Australian fishing industry has said it is starting to recover from the A$100m (US$67.2m) loss of sales caused by the outbreak of SARS in Asia.

The outbreak meant that many consumers in Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan and Singapore stayed away from restaurants, preferring instead to eat at home. But Neal said that people were beginning to return to restaurants, meaning that orders for Australian fish were picking up again, reported the Australian Associated Press.
