A seine net is a very long net, with or without a bag in the centre, which is set either from the shore or from a boat for surrounding a certain area and is operated with two (long) ropes fixed to its ends (for hauling and herding the fish).
Seine nets are operated both in inland and in marine waters. The surrounded and catching area depends on the length of the seine and of the hauling lines.

| Bag Seine Catch Data in Bays along the Texas Coast from 1982 to 2016 | Data were collected using a bag seine: 18.3 m long and 1.8 m deep with 19 mm stretched nylon mesh in wings and 13 mm stretched mesh in the bag. | Bag seine |
| CO2 × temperature specific early life survival and growth of Menidia menidia assessed by 5 factorial experiments | Adults were caught with a 30 m × 2 m beach seine from local salt marshes and transported live to our laboratory facilities. | beach seine |
| Mean plot-level responses observed in an experiment conducted at Zeke's Island National Estuarine Research Reserve where abundance of the seaweed Gracilaria vermiculophylla was manipulated to assess impact on multiple ecosystem functions | To assess the effectiveness of Gracilaria as a nursery habitat for commercially and recreationally important species, we sampled the entire plot using a 1.2-m high × 6.7-m wide nylon seine net (The Fish Net Company, Jonesville, LA; mesh size = 3.175 mm) during a falling tide. Upon completion of a pass, we swiftly pulled the net taught, tilted it into a horizontal position, and lifted it from the water into an adjacent boat (R\V Adelaide) in a single motion. | seine net |
