ParticipantPurse seine fishing is generally considered more efficient and sustainable as compared to pelagic trawlers as it has no contact with the sea-bed and has low levels of by-catch provided the mesh size is large enough to let smaller fish free.
Despite certain regulations in place, with a lack of monitoring, the mesh size of these nets a really small (refer to photo), increasing by-catch.
