Purse Seiner

Nova Scotia

This boat (purse seiner), passing by Brier Island, is heading out to catch herring. The small boat at stern is used to spread netting behind the seiner.

Thanks to a commercial fisherman for providing the correct nomenclature for this type fishing vessel (originally posted as a "trawler" based on a local's identification).

Correction...this is a purse seiner, not a trawler.
