  Changes In Seine Fishing Strategy
Three time periods were examined: 1991-92 included fishing before the cod fishery was closed and before the minimum mesh size was increased; 1993-94 included the period after the mesh size increase but before the hake fishery was closed; and 1995-97 included the period after the hake fishery was closed.
The fishing grounds were further north and east of those occupied by otter trawlers, and were concentrated between Port Hood and Ballantyne's Cove.

 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.
When fish are generally abundant in a large area, both trollers and seiners would be expected to do well; when fish are sparse, both trollers and seiners (at least those that remain in the area) would be expected to do poorly.

 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.
When the gear is closed and fish can no longer escape the netting is hauled lengthways using a mechanised power block until the fish are packed tightly in the bunt, or last remaining section of the net to be hauled.
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.

 Purse seine - Cetacean Bycatch Resource Center
Different methods for targeting schools of tuna are known as "fishing on schools," "fishing on dolphins," or "fishing on logs," when whitewater, dolphins, or floating objects are used.
Fishing on schools is sometimes less successful than other methods because the school of fish can disperse before the net is drawn.
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.

The seine was then shot overboard to encircle the fish, the ends connected and secured with long Graphers anchoring it to the sea-bottom.
Instead of "tucking" the fish into smaller nets from within the stationary seine, the whole catch had to be methodically taken to shore and landed at high tide.
The net and fish were left high and dry - a high glittering wall of fish, two, three or four feet in thickness and perhaps an acre in area.

The exploitation rates saturated at an effort level of 100 vessels (whereas the maximum effort observed was 363 boats) and indicated that (at saturation) the fleet caught 80% to 90% of the vulnerable migrating salmon present in Johnstone and Queen Charlotte Straits during what were commonly 48- or 72-hour fishing openings.
