Etymology

The term 'seiner' originates from the word 'seine', which comes from the Middle English 'seyn', derived from Old French 'sene' meaning 'net for fishing'. The use of seine nets dates back to ancient fishing techniques, with evidence of their use in various cultures around the world. As fishing technology evolved, the design of seiners also advanced, leading to the modern vessels we see today. These boats are an essential part of commercial fishing operations, enabling efficient catch methods and contributing to the global seafood supply.
