The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax has suspended search efforts for two men who went missing Monday in New Brunswick.

An uncle and his great-nephew have been identified as the two lobster fishermen who died on the opening day of their season off the northeastern coast of New Brunswick.

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans says fishermen in areas off northern Prince Edward Island, the Northumberland Strait and western Cape Breton can set their traps beginning at 6 a.m. Friday.
