is a curve of degree

in $\mathbb{P}^3$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 such that its plane section is contained in an irreducible curve of degree

, then

lies on a surface of degree

. We show that the same result does not hold in positive characteristic and we find different bounds

which ensure that

is contained in a surface of degree
