Attribute
FGT Fishing Gear Type
Definition
A net composed of a bunt (loose netting or bag) and long wings often lengthened with ropes in order to move the net from place to place.
Description
The headrope with floats is on the surface, the footrope is in permanent contact with the bottom and the seine is therefore a barrier which prevents the fish from escaping from the area enclosed by the net. Two basic types of gear can be distinguished: seine nets without a bag and seine nets with a bag. The first one do have, however, a central part with smaller meshes and more slack, which retains the fish caught. In the second one the fish are retained in the bag. It is not necessary for the bag to be exactly in the centre and in this case the wings are not of equal length.
