The set seine, as they say in books, refers to “passive fishing gear”, i.e., after it is installed, it “catches fish itself”. The principle of operation is based on using the property of salmon to return to their native river after sea feeding. At the beginning of summer, the salmon dispersed in the places of the sea zhora begins to stray into schools, and foolishly rush to their rivers. It is still not really known what kind of GPS fish use, but the rivers where, who was born, salmon are found thousands of kilometers away.
When approaching their native shores and in search of their river, salmon herds cling to coastline- here they are met with set nets. Along the coast of Kamchatka, if memory serves, about 400 plots have been “cut” for the installation of sea seines. But, as in any fishing - plots to plots, a lot of strife ... Naturally, the most "delicious" places are near the mouths of the rivers - there the fish will never pass by. However, it is forbidden to set a net closer than 2 km to the mouth, and the distance between the nets must be at least 2 km.
The seine itself is structurally a “wing” (a wall made of a net extending perpendicularly from the coast into the sea for about 1 km) and “traps” at the marine end of the wing (systems of the “nipple” type - a labyrinth with narrow entrances and walls and a bottom from a continuous network with a mesh of about 30 mm).
The principle of operation is nauseatingly simple - a salmon walking along the coast stumbles upon an obstacle (wing), starts to bypass it ... runs into traps and that's it ... All that remains is to “sort out” the seine, drive the fish to one end and “pour” it into the “slot” ( a barge without a bottom, covered with a net so that the fish live there longer) or a "cage" (a blank fence from the same net adjacent to the trap). In the slots in tow, the fish is handed over for processing - to their factory on the shore, or “at sea” to fish processing vessels. The steamboat, again, can be its own (master's), or left, where the fish is handed over under the contract. Depending on the “yield”, the price of the issue ranges from 60/40 (60% of the proceeds from fish to “getters” and 40% to “receivers”), to the opposite - 40/60 (this is when fish are like dirt, and there is nowhere to put it ). It is considered fair if 50/50%.
Below, some nasty photos from such fishing in the previous year:
View of the seine from the slot from the side of the cage. The iron boat on the right, this is a "sabunka" - is used to monitor the situation (whether the fish has entered) and minor repairs of nets. In the background is a "bulkhead" on which a team of fishermen sorts out a seine (drives the fish to the dead end).

The simplicity of the “theory” of such fishing does not at all guarantee the same in “practice” ... Only the installation of a fixed net requires 2-3 weeks (subject to good weather and calm seas). In addition to the delivery and “bringing into working condition” of the shmurdyuk itself (nets, cables, ends, buoys, etc.), it is required to dig up and prepare in the fishing area about 2000 (two thousand !!!) sandbags for loading braces, with which the whole structure of the seine is fixed ... Take out from the shore into the sea and "drown" these same bags, "bundles" of no more than 50 pieces. at a time, because if there is more, then the ship may capsize. And such cases, unfortunately, were ...
The seine itself needs not only to be installed, but also set up, almost like a piano - to adjust the dimensions, height and dimensions of the “passages” and all that. Like any “delicate matter”, setting up a seine requires no hefty skill, if not talent ... Therefore, good foremen responsible for setting up a seine and fishing are highly valued and well paid.
However, to catch a lot of fish, although this is a necessary condition, it is not yet sufficient for successful fishing- all fish must be well attached (processed at your own factory or handed over to the receiver on favorable terms).
Only in order to “recapture” the costs of setting up a seine and at least pay the fishermen something, you need to catch at least 200 tons of salmon. But in general, the "performance" of such a seine, with good conditions(approaches of fish, calm weather, etc.), allows you to take 1000 or even more tons for Putin.
And, lo and behold... A team approached Kolpakov, with whom I was supposed to work under a scientific quota. At first glance, the fishermen, like fishermen, are all hardened in words (cooler, only eggs). The brigadier, however, confused a little - he was young ... and somehow weak with charisma ... But the men arrived on a very dexterous MRS-80 (small fishing seiner). They also lived on it (7 people in the cockpit and 6 in the hold adapted for life), they also served the net.

Based in the estuary of the river. Mikhail Nikolaevich often looked at the "light" and whites from the seal's liver (pictured below)
Our site under the seine is the most “chocolate” - the first from the mouth of the river. Kolpakov to the north. The men put the central and frame under the seine ahead of time - it remains only to hang the "rags" (nets), which they did without any problems in a few days. The weather whispered - the sea, like a mirror.
As soon as the seine net was set, the fish immediately went. There was no blockage yet, but in a couple of days they drove 30 tons into the cage. But with the delivery of the catch, there was a strain ... The vessel, with which an agreement on joint work was concluded in advance, has not yet approached the fishing area ...
Live fish in a net can normally “live” for 2-3 days, and if it is not “cleaned up”, then it dies and falls to the bottom, tightly piling the net with its corpses. If this happens, it's easier to cut the traps and re-sew than to manually try to throw it out.
There was nowhere else to “pull” with the delivery of fish, and the representative of the company decided to drag the slot to Sobolevo, or rather, to the mouth of the river. Vorovskaya (the company has its own fish processing plant in Sobolevo). And the way by sea is only from the mouth of the river. Kolpakova to Vorovskaya is about 60 km ... As a rule, such slots are not dragged further than 3-5 km ... There is a wave in the sea ... the fish will snort, wash ... Again, speed - with a slot on a leash, the course is no more than 3-4 knots.
Since there was nowhere to go, we went to Sobolevo. We set off in the morning and by 7 pm we approached the mouth of Vorovskaya ... but you can’t go in - the tide is out. For another three hours they hung out in front of the mouth, and when the water “approached”, they set off to enter. By this time, twilight had already thickened, but in principle, there was more or less visibility.
Overcoming the elastic countercurrent of the fairway, our MRS with a slot on the leash was slowly drawn into the river. And when it already seemed that everything - the mouths had passed, trembling from the strain of all Horse power ship, shook a strong side impact (already almost fell off their feet) ... !!!?
While they were trying in bewilderment to find out the cause of the underwater "hook on the right", men began to jump out of the hold and throw their mattresses and belongings from there onto the deck. It turned out that a hole (the size of a boot) was formed from the impact, with which outboard water whipped with terrible force !!!
The hold before our eyes was filled with water, in which firewood, socks, clothes floated mixed up ... In less than a few minutes, the men in the hold were already fussing in waist-deep water ... and she was arriving ... !!!
Attempts to push the hole with mattresses and rags did not give any results, because because of the bunks and the inner lining it was impossible to get there ...
Fortunately, a 10 cm hole “did not get” the adjacent engine room and the ship remained on the move. They managed to call for help on the radio in time. An MPC-150 jumped up from a nearby pier and unfastened our slot with fish. Light and at maximum speed, they rushed to the shore. And when it was already possible to touch the water from the deck with your hand - Thank God, we ran aground.
Has passed…
PS. I apologize for the quality of the photo - I "drowned" the camera on the way ...
