Weather conditions have deteriorated, hampering search efforts for the remaining crew members of a Spanish fishing trawler that sank early yesterday morning.
Lieutenant Commander Brian Owens of the Joint Rescue Centre in Halifax says ten metre seas are making the search more challenging.
Aircraft are still searching the area and boats are still on the water.
There were 24 crew members on the fishing vessel. Three survivors were rescued yesterday, and ten bodies have been recovered.
