NAGASAKI (Kyodo) Two more bodies were recovered Sunday from a salvaged fishing boat that sank off Nagasaki Prefecture in April, the Japan Coast Guard said.
One of the two bodies was identified as that of crew member Yasunori Deguchi, 54.
DNA tests will be conducted to identify the other body, the coast guard said.
Eight bodies have been found in the salvaged boat so far. Four people are still missing.
Ten crew members were rescued and 12 went missing after the Daiei Maru No. 11 was hit by big waves, capsized and sank off Hirado on April 14.
Of four bodies retrieved Saturday, three were identified Sunday as those of Takao Iwano, 51, Tadahiro Shiraishi, 51, and Hirotsugu Hiramatsu, 20, all crew members of the boat.
The boat was pulled up Tuesday from the bottom of the sea where it lay at a depth of about 80 meters.
