Tuna purse seiners are robust commercial fishing vessels designed to locate and catch large schools of tuna near the water's surface. Their primary fishing gear is the purse seine—a large, curtain-like net that encircles the fish and is drawn shut at the bottom, much like a drawstring bag. Real tuna purse seiners play a vital role in global commercial fishing, characterized by their rugged construction, powerful equipment, and ability to operate far offshore.
