List of surrounding nets terms

SURROUNDING NETS WITH PURSE LINES (PURSE SEINES)

(seines characterized by the use of a purse line at the bottom of the net. The purse line enables the net to be closed like a purse and thus retain all the fish caught.)

SURROUNDING NETS WITHOUT PURSE LINES (LAMPARA NETS, “RING NETS”)

(Its particular design, with the central bunt in the form of a spoon and two lateral wings, makes it possible to retain the shoal of fish when the two wings are hauled up at the same time. The ring net type is shaped more like a purse seine and most often fitted with bridles to help pull in the leadline. These nets are generally operated by a simple boat, relatively small. The lampara net is the type most representative of this category.)
