Modern Purse Seining with Winch and Sonar

Summary

The report which has been written for the Indonesian project outlines the basic principles of purse seining and the use of sonar to track a fish shoal during the setting of the net. This information is of general interest but the report is also more specific in describing the best layout for a purse sener vessel of 15m length for the Indonesian project.
