Sea Seines for Small-scale Fishing

Sea Seines for small-scale fishing

purse seine, The purse seine is a preferred technique for capturing fish species which school, or aggregate, close to the surface: such as sardines, mackerel, anchovies, herring, certain species of tuna (schooling); and salmon soon before they swim up rivers and streams to spawn (aggregation).

Danish seine, A Danish seine is similar to a small trawl net, but the wire warps are much longer and there are no otter boards. The seine boat drags the warps and the net in a circle around the fish. The motion of the warps herds the fish into the central net.Danish seiner vessels are usually larger than purse seiners, though they are often accompanied by a smaller vessel.
