| Spears were the first fishing tools used, until the invention of nets, tubs and salmon seines. |
|
| Evolving technologies have included aboriginal spears, nets, and weirs and European purse seines. |
|
| Throughout the year, coastal fisheries staff wade into the shallow water along bay shorelines and drag fine-webbed seines. |
|
| Soon fish moved only after dark, forcing fishermen to set their seines at night. |
|
| The main gears used are bottom and mid-water trawls, gill nets, longlines and purse seines. |
|
| The undertaking of any encirclement with purse seines of any school or group of marine mammals shall be prohibited. |
|
| The fishing gears deployed are pelagic pair trawls and purse seines with fish attracted to them by light. |
|
| Purse seines may be used to catch small pelagic species, large pelagic species or demersal species. |
|
| This is the case for trawls and seines, as well as some types of longlines. |
|
| Species richness and abundance was assessed using fyke nets, gillnets, beach seines, and boat electrofishing. |
|
| There was very good fishing for seines in Johnstone Strait when it opened for them. |
|
| Gears used are bottom trawls, dredges, purse seines, surface longlines, driftnets and artisanal gear. |
|
| It is also caught in salmon seines, by salmon trollers towing hooks and possibly by bottom trawlers off Alaska. |
|
| The use of towed nets, encircling nets, purse seines, dredges, gillnets, trammel nets, bottom-set longlines and longlines for highly migratory species shall be prohibited for leisure fisheries. |
|
| In addition, fleets can continue to fish within the protected area using towed gear not in contact with the bottom, such as pelagic trawls and longlines, purse seines and other fixed gear. |
|
| In the Bay of Fundy, sampling of the Saint John River system with ichthyoplankton nets and beach seines in 1992 and 1994 failed to find any evidence of successful striped bass spawning. |
|
| The capacity of purse seines may be characterised by the total length of the net, the depth of the net being characteristic of the target species. |
|
| Tuna seines are particularly problematic for entanglement by dolphins. |
|
| Seines at least collected less mud and debris than weirs and staked gill nets. |
