seiner
Purse-net vessel
A seiner is a fishing boat that uses a seine—a large net that hangs vertically in the water and encircles schools of fish.
The net is drawn closed at the bottom like a purse, trapping the catch.
Seiners target species that school near the surface: The herring seiners headed out before dawn.
