"There is a thaw on the fishing boat, and there is a suspicion that the person got caught in his gear and fell overboard. The missing man is in his 80s and usually wears a life jacket when he is out fishing," the Swedish Maritime and Air Rescue Centre told the newspaper NyheterSTO.
Boats from the Swedish Sea Rescue Society, the police and the Coast Guard participated in the search, as did the Swedish Maritime Administration's helicopter, writes GP.
The alarm was received shortly after 12:00 on Saturday. At 17:30, the police announced that the Maritime and Air Rescue Centre had decided to end the search and handed the case over to the police, who will handle it as a missing-person case.
