On seine nets....

Purse seine fishing uses a deep (> 200 feet) net to encircle a school of fish, then pulling a draw line around the bottom to "purse" the net closed, capturing the fish. The net is then drawn tighter, concentrating the catch which is then "bailed" into the purse seiners hold with a large dip-type net.
