Rescuers saved four crewmen from a life raft, and retrieved five bodies from the frigid waters.
The Coast Guard, which continued to search for the two missing men with the cutter Acushnet and aircraft, suspended the search at 9:36 a.m. today.
The Coast Guard and the Air National Guard searched 4,871 square miles of ocean over the past week, the Coast Guard said.
"While our minds remain on Coast Guard missions, our hearts are with the families during this difficult time," said Capt. Mike Inman, chief of response for the Coast Guard in Alaska.
A three-member panel of Coast Guard experts is scheduled to begin hearings Monday morning in Anchorage on the sinking of the 93-foot boat. Survivors and others are likely to be called to testify about what went wrong on the boat.
The crew was known to have been battling some flooding at the stern of the vessel, but the cause of the sinking remains unclear, Coast Guard officers have said.
