"The Australian crocodile industry is hoping swine flu may result in a boom in crocodile meat sales.
Keith Cook, from Australian Crocodile Traders, says the crocodile meat industry received a sales boost from mad cow disease, and if swine flu gathers momentum, the industry should benefit again.
He says crocodile meat is the prefect white meat alternative for consumers who have been turned off eating pork.
"It wouldn't be too far from the truth to be able to say it is the closest simile to pork that you're likely to get," he says.
"Taste-wise, texture-wise, the colour, the fat content, it's very, very similar."
