purse seine
Seine netting is a type of netting used in fish management. A seine net can be between 10 and 1200 metres in length and looks similar to a standard landing net used by anglers. The netting is weighted at the bottom with counteracting floats at the top resulting in a net wall within the water. It plays a large role in fishery management where its main purpose is the removal of fish from a body of water for stock reduction or survey purposes. Smaller nets can also be used as stops in ponds or raceways.
