This book was originally issues as

The Seine Net: its Origin, Evolution and Use, but it was revised and enlarged in light of modern advances in seining. The author believes in the seine nets importance as a food-producing gear, in the prime quality of the fish it catches and in the claim that, in contrast to heavy trawling gear, it does not damge fishing grounds. This fishing method is more economic, having the added advantge of a lower fuel consumption than trawling methods.
