The Australian prime minister says it is "highly unlikely" debris from missing flight MH370 will be found on the ocean surface.
Speaking from the Australian capital Canberra, Tony Abbott said the hunt for the Malaysia Airlines flight will now focus on underwater search operations.
"I am now required to say to you that it is highly unlikely at this stage that we will find any aircraft debris on the ocean surface," Mr Abbott said.
He added that the US Navy's Bluefin 21 has finished scouring the initial search area off Australia's western coast, and has not yet found anything.
"I want the families to know, I want the world to know, that Australia will not shirk its responsibilities in this area. We will do everything we humanly can ... to solve this mystery," he said.
"We will not let people down and while the search will be moving to a new phase in coming weeks, it certainly is not ending."
Radar and satellite data show the jet - which was carrying 239 passengers and crew - veered off course on March 8 for unknown reasons.
Analysis indicates it would have run out of fuel in a remote section of the Indian Ocean.
