Seafood.com, Inc., is the new company incorporating Seafood Datasearch, Seafood Link, and our web site, Seafood.com. Our goal is to bring seafood buyers, sellers, and consumers together on the Internet. Here you will find daily industry news, a trading board that changes hour to hour, and a seafood discussion area -- "Ask the Experts" -- with daily posts and responses. All areas of the web site are fully searchable. We provide services for wholesale buyers and sellers to find customers and promote products. We also have extensive database services, commodity and price reports, and seafood consulting services. Our philosophy is that seafood is a unique commodity, bought and sold worldwide by a core group of experienced, knowledgable buyers and sellers. Our services, on the Internet and through our market reports, are designed to bring buyers and sellers together, to spread market knowledge, and to support the sale of commercial seafood products. Seafood consumers are also an important group. In the U.S. 80% of the seafood is consumed by 20% of the consumers. These heavy seafood buyers are knowledgable and interested, and they care about seafood. Our website is designed to encourage direct connections between seafood consumers and the industry that supplies them, and to unite them around their common interest in seafood knowledge. We develop and support web sites that sell seafood directly to consumers, and we promote a seafood experts archive about all seafood topics, which is of use to consumers, restaurant wait staff, fish store employees, buyers, and all those who have questions on anything to do with seafood. Our web site is designed to bring seafood buyers, sellers, and consumers together in as many useful ways as possible, with the goal of promoting commerce, knowledge, and the prosperity of the entire seafood community.

John Sackton - President, Seafood.com, Inc. - phone: 781-861-1760Paul Brown - President, Urner Barry Publications, Inc. - phone: 800-932-0617 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ÊÊÊÊÊSeafood.com and Urner Barry announced today the joint development of Seafoodbuyer.com, a new website for buyers and sellers in the seafood industry. Seafoodbuyer.com will provide Internet based tools to enhance the existing buying and selling relationships in the seafood industry. ÊÊÊÊÊAccording to John Sackton, President of Seafood.com, "Many seafood companies are considering how to use the Internet to improve their service to existing customers, and to find new customers. Our service, Seafoodbuyer.com, allows seafood companies to take advantage of all the benefits of the Internet, yet maintain their very important relationships with existing suppliers and customers." ÊÊÊÊÊ"We see the Internet as helping existing businesses to sell seafood more effectively, not as a platform that will replace the existing sales of seafood today", Sackton said. ÊÊÊÊÊThe heart of the Seafoodbuyer.com concept is that both buyers and sellers have complete control over how their product and price information is viewed and displayed. Therefore, companies can use the Internet to distribute price and product information that is faxed today, and can reach a wider circle of buyers more effectively. ÊÊÊÊÊPaul Brown, Jr., President of Urner Barry Publications, Inc. said "Our Company has been providing market prices, directories, and trade data to the seafood industry for over 20 years. We see Seafoodbuyer.com as a natural extension of these services to the Internet. We think that creating new opportunities for buyers and sellers to work together on the Internet will be a benefit to the entire seafood industry." ÊÊÊÊÊFor buyers, Seafoodbuyer.com offers many tools to allow them to place orders more efficiently with their existing suppliers, and to search out new suppliers as necessary. ÊÊÊÊÊBuyers will also have access to Urner Barry's market reports, and to daily industry and market news from Seafood.com. Urner Barry's Who's Who in the Fish Industry will be on the site, and electronic subscribers to Urner Barry's Seafoodnet.com will be able to access price information directly from the Seafoodbuyer.com web site. ÊÊÊÊÊIn addition, Seafoodbuyer.com will have a clearance area, where sellers can directly sell product that they want to move out of inventory. However, all final sales on Seafoodbuyer.com will be between the two parties involved, and will not involve the web site as an intermediary. ÊÊÊÊÊSeafood.com, Inc. operates the seafood.com web site which in less than one year has become the most heavily visited seafood industry web site in the U.S. Seafood.com currently receives hundreds of thousands of hits per month, and each month records as many unique visitors as annual trade shows such as the Boston Seafood Show. ÊÊÊÊÊUrner Barry Publications, Inc., established in 1858, is the oldest and most respected publisher of commodity prices and market news in the U.S. In the seafood industry, Seafood Price Current and seafoodnet.com are the standard references used by buyers and sellers alike for discovery of market prices.
