Rescuers have called off the search for two fishermen who went missing after their trawler got into difficulty in the North Sea.
Three of the Ocean Way crew were rescued from the water and airlifted to hospital, but one later died.
The search for the remaining two men was called off on Sunday night, and the coastguard said unless further information was received it is unlikely to resume early today.
It said the Marine Accident Investigation Branch has been informed.

The vessel was last heard from about 100 miles east of the Farne Islands
A rescue mission was launched for the skipper and crew of the vessel after it began transmitting an emergency beacon about 100 miles east of the Farne Islands.
Helicopters from the UK and Norway were involved in the hunt for the British skipper and his four Filipino crew.
Scotland's Fisheries Minister Richard Lochhead said: "I am very sorry to hear about the loss of the Fraserburgh registered fishing vessel the Ocean Way that has tragically resulted in fatalities.
"This is a terrible tragedy and my thoughts are with the loved ones and friends of the crew.
"This tragedy will be felt by all fishing communities and is a horrible reminder of the dangers our fishermen face day in, day out to bring fish to our tables, with many paying the ultimate sacrifice.
"I would like to pay tribute to all the personnel involved in the rescue operation."
