FISHING GEAR Purse seine |
This fishery uses purse seines to catch anchovy and sardine by surrounding the stock with a wall of netting. Seine fishers generally operate at night. Fishermen mostly use sonar to locate schools of fish, determine their species and to figure out the approximate size. A small vessel dragged behind the main vessel is used as a light source to attract the fish.
This fishery operates in the central and northern parts of the GSA 6, in Valencian and Catalan waters.
