1.3. Definition of surrounding net in fisheries:

Surrounding net, also known as purse seine, is defined as: net which catches fish by surrounding them both from the sides and from underneath, thus preventing them from escaping in deep waters by diving downwards. ** Apart from a few exceptions, they are surface nets in which the float line is supported by numerous floats. It's mostly used in the open ocean to catch dense schools of single-species pelagic fish.
