For the pur-poses of this chapter, all seines other than those fishedfrom the shore may be disregarded. The head ropeof such nets must carry sufficient cork to float buoy-antly, and the ground rope be so weighted as to holdthe bottom. The head and ground ropes are generallykept in their relative positions, and held apart whilethe net is being hauled by poles at the ends of the netround which they are hitched (see Fig. 216). Such netsare commonly shot from a boat which is rowed out fromthe shore and back again, the end of one hauling ropebeing left on the shore during the shot (A in Fig. 215),and the end of the other landed some distance away(B in Fig. 215). The net is then hauled ashore, the twoends being brought closer to one another dur
