Encircling Nets

    0.02 sec.
Encircling Nets 

in fishing, devices used to catch fish by straining the water through the netting. The fish remain in the net as it is hauled in; they do not get entangled in the netting. Encircling nets, which include trawls, seines, and trap nets, are widely used in commercial fishing.
