Question

What is a

method of fishing that involves surrounding the schools of fish with a net which is then drawn
together to enclose them

Answer 1

Purse seines

Step-by-step explanation:

Purse seines are used in the open ocean to target dense schools of single-species pelagic (midwater) fish like tuna and mackerel. A vertical net 'curtain' is used to surround the school of fish, the bottom of which is then drawn together to enclose the fish, rather like tightening the cords of a drawstring purse.
