| Abstract | Purse seining is one of the most efficient and advanced commercial fishing methods. It is aimed mainly at catching dense, mobile schools of pelagic fish and includes all the elements of searching, hunting and capture. A purse seine is made of a long wall of netting framed with float line and lead line having purse rings hanging from the lower edge of the gear, through which runs a purse line made from steel wire or rope which facilitate the pursing of the net. Purse seining accounts for over 30% of the world fish landings (Ben-Yami, 1994a). |
