- FGT Fishing Gear Type
- Definition
- A net consisting of a conical netting body, two wings and a bag, that has floats on the surface and weights on the net bottom and is designed to float on the surface and surround fish.
- Description
- An important component for the capture efficiency of boat seines is the long ropes extending from the wings, which are used to encircle a large area. When the net has fully encircled the fish, a purse line (wire rope that passes through rings on the net bottom) is drawn together so that fish cannot escape downward. Net deployment may be conducted with one vessel utilizing a marker buoy, a pair of vessels, or a combination of large vessel with small auxiliary skiff that assists in setting out the net.
