	Purse seine - Cetacean Bycatch Resource Center
		Purse seines are used to catch entire schools of fish.
		Purse seiners can also set their nets on passing debris (known as "logs") or fish aggregating devices (FADs), since fish are attracted to floating objects.
		Purse seines can also be set around any object floating at or near the surface, from tree trunks to sea turtles, whales, or discarded fishing gear.

	Influence of purse seine fishery on longline fishery for yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) in the western Indian Ocean (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The results of these studies suggest that the influence of the purse seine fishery on the longline fishery is only moderate in areas of intensive purse seine fishing and that there appears to be no apparent influence of the purse seine fishery on the longline fishery outside the immediate area of intensive purse seine fishing.
		The yellowfin is commonly exploited by purse seine and longline gear; the latter by the longline fleets of Korea, Japan, and Taiwan.
		Regarding the influence of the purse seine fishery on the longline fishery, all of the studies predicted existence of a moderate impact of the purse seine fishery on the longline fishery.

	Interaction between small-scale fisheries in Kiribati and the industrial purse seine fishery in the western and central ...
		The recent increase in purse seine catches and reported declines in pole-and-line and artisanal catches have led to concerns that purse seining is reducing the supply of tuna available for capture by local fishermen.
		Purse seine fishing by various fleets occurred in the Gilbert Island area during the 1980s, generally recording annual catches of less than 10,000 mt. However, since 1990, purse seine catches, mainly by USA vessels, have increased dramatically, reaching approximately 120,000 mt in 1993.
		The logbook data, which contain the catch by species for each purse seine set, with the set position recorded to the nearest minute of latitude and longitude, were provided to SPC by coastal states in the region; the coastal states collected the data either from distant-water purse-seine fleets under access agreements or from domestic fleets.

	fishing method Purse Seine Netting
		Small lead weights on the underside of the curtain ensure that the leadline quickly sinks and the net is then pursed under the shoal by heaving on a wire or purseline (a) which runs through steel rings attached to the lower edge of the net.
		Purse seiners generally try to avoid bottom contact as the small mesh nylon netting is easily damaged.
		A purse seine is not strictly speaking a towed gear but the purseline wire, being probably the strongest subsurface component, could possibly foul and cause damage to underwater installations.

	2001 Togiak Herring Fishery Updates - Commercial Fisheries - Alaska Department of Fish and Game
		The reported harvest from this afternoon's purse seine openings (Purse Seine #13) is approximately 2,400 tons with average gram size of 316 grams and mature roe percentage of 10.40%.
		Preliminary estimates from this afternoon's purse seine period are around 325 tons, with a considerable percentage of the sets made turned away due to immature fish.
		Purse seine permit holders are cautioned that this opening is taking place on a descending tide, and should plan their sets accordingly.

	Dolphin Essay Contest - Kids Planet Purse Seine Fishing
		Purse seine fishing begins when fishers see a group of dolphins.
		Using cables, the fishers close the net at the bottom, similar to tightening the drawstrings on a purse--hence the term "purse seine." This prevents the tuna and dolphins from escaping.
		Scientists are afraid that in addition to mother-calf separation, other types of unobserved deaths regularly occur as a result of purse seine fishing, such as from major injury to muscles or organs and chase-induced stress.

		Up to two million Spinner Dolphins, mostly eastern and white-bellied varieties, were killed in the thirty years after purse seine fishing for (Any very large marine food and game fish of the genus Thunnus; related to mackerel; chiefly of warm waters) tuna was introduced in the 1950s.

	King of Purse Seine Fishing
		As long as there have been purse seines, they have been hauled from either port or starboard side of the vessel.
		Now Mario wants to convert that method to hauling the net over the stern.and wants to see seining made safer through stern hauling, while uppermost in his thoughts is the saving of some hundreds of thousands of lives of porpoises in the world tuna fishery.
		This educational campaign, an effort to convince seine fishermen to change their method, depicts the manner of man this Croatian is. His creative energy has envisioned scores of projects, and some are in the patent stage, some are being built and used.

		Because bycatch information is not recorded in commercial purse seiner logbooks, observations collected by scientific observers aboard purse seiners appeared to be a useful way to assess the amount of bycatch taken by this fleet.
		The weight ranges of billfishes captured as incidental catch by the purse seiners were approximately 130-150 kg for blue marlin, 10-20 kg for sailfish and 45-70 kg for nonidentified marlins (there were no weight estimates for white marlin and longbill spearfish because of their low numbers in the bycatch).
		Consequently, because purse seiners move seasonally from one area to another, there is a lack of information about the presence of billfishes when the fishing area is temporarily abandoned.

	On "The Purse-Seine"
		Divorced materially, intellectually, and spiritually from the natural world, modern man was enclosed in the artifice of his cities, whose lights against the night sky resembled nothing so much as the glitter of scales in a fishnet:.
		The "net" of the city, like the purse seine, scoops men up from their native element; it jostles them together so that none can stand alone yet none are truly linked; its glow is the shimmer of decay.
		In the poem, he describes the sardine-fishers going out at night in their boats to cast their huge seines for schools of fish, and he paints a thrillingly realistic picture of their prey caught in the net beneath the boat:

	WDFW -- Washington Trial Purse Seine Fishery for Pacific Sardine
		Salmon could not be landed on the boat’s deck and had to be released or dip netted directly form the net before the completion of each set.
		In 2004, WDFW required at-sea observer coverage to document total catch and bycatch in the purse seine fishery.
		Bycatch was recorded in terms of species, amount, and condition; observers noted whether the fish were released or landed, and whether the fish were alive, dead, or in poor condition.

	ACS spinner dolphin Cetacean Fact Sheet - American Cetacean Society
		Instead of looking for tuna, the fishermen look for dolphins; when they find them, they encircle the herd with large nets called "purse seine" nets, capturing the dolphins along with the tuna.
		It is believed that the stock has declined by as much as 80% since the 1960s, when purse seining operations began.
		Spinner dolphins do well in captivity, and have been displayed in Hawai'i and elsewhere in the U.S., Indonesia, the Philippines, and Hong Kong.
