HILLSBURN, N.S.—The search for five missing scallop fishers continued Wednesday morning, more than 24 hours after their boat sank off the coast of southwestern Nova Scotia in rough, heaving seas.

Search and rescue officials said the body of one fisher from the dragger Chief William Saulis was found late Tuesday night.
