Abstract
A seine net assembly utilizes buoyant seine net purse rings that float above the leadline and therefore reduce the risk of the purse rings getting snagged on the bottom of the body of water. An exemplary buoyant purse ring may have a specific gravity less than 1.0 and preferably, between 0.08 and 0.96. It is desirable that the purse rings float but not be so buoyant that they cause the leadline and therefore the leadline end of the net to float. An exemplary purse ring is made out of a polymeric material such as polyethylene and most preferably ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). A polymeric purse ring may have a ring wall with a rectangular shape designed for durability and tighter packing. The width of the ring wall may be greater than the thickness.
