  Seine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Seine (pronounced /sɛn/ in French) is a major river of north-western France, and one of its commercial waterways.
The ancient Gauls considered the Seine to be a tributary of the Yonne, which indeed presents a greater average discharge than the Seine (the river flowing through Paris should be called Yonne if the standard rules of geography were applied).
Until locks were installed to artificially raise the level in the 1800s, however, the river was much shallower within the city most of the time, and consisted only of a small channel of continuous flow bordered by sandy banks (visible in many illustrations of the period).

 Herring Harvest - Seining
Purse seining is the process of catching schooling fish near the ocean surface by circling them with a net.
Purse seining for herring can be especially tricky as the entire process is run in the dark of night when herring swim to the surface to feed on rising phytoplankton.
Once the bottom of the seine is closed, preventing the herring from escaping, deck lights are turned on and one end of the seine net is run through a large, hydraulically driven "powerblock" located at the top of a crane.
