6.5 mm Seine/Barrier Nets

Description

6.5 mm Seine/Barrier Nets

These 6.5 mm Seine/Barrier nets are rigged with floats and 3oz Leads at 12″ centres.

6.5 mm Seine/Barrier Nets are commonly used as barrier nets for survey work for the Environment Agency and other companies/agencies.

All our 6.5 mm Seine/Barrier Nets are fully rigged by hand, by ourselves, here at Collins Nets Ltd.

We use 1.0mm braided twine to rig the Nylon knotless netting to 10 mm low stretch quality rope with floats and leads or leadline.

Leadline is more suitable if you have a particularly silty bed.

You should consider the size of the water you wish to net and certainly the size of your target species when deciding which mesh size will work best.

The sizes listed here are our most popular options however, we can make a Seine/Barrier nets to any length or depth you require.

A Seine net can be pulled through the water in the manner of a trawl in addition to being used as barrier nets to separate areas of water.

We add a sweep and handle to all 4 corners of our seine nets. Subsequently, this makes them easy to attach to a bridle or can be used by hand. The sweeps make longer nets that may get heavy as they are being maneuvered much easier to use.

Your Seine net should be 1½ times longer than the width of your water way. As a result, you will create a wide arch with the net when corralling the fish.

Once you have seined the length of your water you can use our Dip Nets and Fish Cages to retrieve and hold your fish.

Further guidance on using a seine net can be found on Page 10 of this IFCA Fish Survey Best Practice guide. Fish-survey-best-practice-guidance.pdf.
