The body of a missing fisherman has been found inside the wreckage of FV Jubilee on the seabed.
Canterbury Police deployed a team of divers and a remote-operated vehicle to scour the "item of interest" found off the Canterbury coast.
FV Jubilee has been missing since its crew sent out a distress signal after they were caught in a brutal storm a week ago, on October 18.
Fishermen Jared Reese Husband, 47, of Timaru, Paul Russell Bennett, 35, of Motueka, and 55-year-old Terry Donald Booth, Nelson region, are presumed dead.
Sergeant Phil Simmonds said improved weather on Saturday meant the recovery effort could continue.
