BOAT SEINE

The type most representative of this category is the Danish seine . The design of these nets, consisting of two wings, a body and a bag, is similar in many ways to that of trawls. Operated from a boat, they are generally used on the bottom, where they are hauled by two ropes, usually very long, set in the water so as to ensure that as many fish as possible are driven or herded towards the opening of the net.
