Unalaska, AK – For three days, over 10,000 fishermen, processors, and vendors gathered in Seattle for the annual Pacific Marine Expo - more commonly known as "FishExpo."

The trade show was lasted from Thursday to Saturday, and over 300 vendors and organizations manned 540 booths. There were companies that sold pumps, propellers, sonars, and most everything else a vessel needs to run. At the expo's Alaska Pavilion, representatives from the Port of Dutch Harbor, the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce, and the Aleutians East Borough talked about the services their communities offered to fishermen.

While final registration numbers are still being audited, show director Bob Callahan says initial estimates have attendance up 3%. Callahan says most trade shows in other sectors have seen attendance drop or remain flat because the recession has meant less industry growth.
