seines
Weighted vertical nets
Seines are large fishing nets that hang vertically in the water, with floats along the top edge and weights along the bottom.
They work by encircling fish, then drawing the bottom closed like a purse—hence purse seine.
To seine is to fish with such a net: They seined the bay for herring.
