Seine (/seɪn/ SAYN) fishing (or seine-haul fishing) is a method of fishing that employs a seine or dragnet. A seine is a fishing net that hangs vertically in the water with its bottom edge held down by weights and its top edge buoyed by floats. Seine nets can be deployed from the shore as a beach seine, or from a boat.
Boats deploying seine nets are known as seiners. There are two main types of seine net deployed from seiners: purse seines and Danish seines.
Seines have been used widely in the past, including by stone age societies. For example, with the help of large canoes, pre-European Māori deployed seine nets which could be over one thousand metres long. The nets were woven from green flax, with stone weights and light wood or gourd floats, and could require hundreds of men to haul.
American Native Indians on the Columbia River wove seine nets from spruce root fibers or wild grass, again using stones as weights. For floats they used sticks made of cedar which moved in a way which frightened the fish and helped keep them together.

Purse seining establishes a large wall of netting to encircle schools of fish. Fishermen pull the bottom of the netting closed—like a drawstring purse—to herd fish into the center. This method is used to catch schooling fish, such as sardines, or species that gather to spawn, such as squid. There are several types of purse seines and, depending on which is used, some can catch other animals (such as when tuna seines are intentionally set on schools of dolphins).

Seine fishing in a culvert hole video. I catch enough to fish in a few minutes work or play. Didn't catch any fish with the minnows. It was a slow day with a cold front coming threw the area

This video was created, shot and edited by Alex Inwood. Let's join Skipper Ant and deckies Alfie and Buzzy on a beautiful day off Lakes Entrance, Victoria, Australia as they fish for flathead. Watch the video (or click the time stamps below) to see the Danish seine fishing method from start to finish, plus some scientific data collection to support the management of the fishery and stock assessments.

At Net Systems parent company Nichimo in Japan, a scale model of a seine net is tested in the world’s only flow test tank (L:8m x W:4.5m x D:1.6m) to monitor its physical properties in the water. It is monitored under various settings of parameters such as seining speed, pursing speed, and current speeds at the upper, middle, and lower columns of the water.
