Manguaguan na Palabran Si Yuus – God's Precious Words
Mananaf (Júnio) 9, 2004

“Y atadogjo siempre juatan si Jeova; sa güiya ujala y adengjo juyong gui laso.” Salmo 25:15.

1. Positioned in the Pacific Ocean the seine, a large fishing net used in the purse seine fishing technique, is almost a perfect circle. The purse seiner, the ship attached to the net, is starting to pull the net back on board. The workboat (far left) secured to the purse seiner, is now acting like a tugboat, pulling the purse seiner away from the net so that it does not become entangled.

After closing the seine and trapping the fish, the net is now brought on board the purse seiner. The above photo is a view of the net being run through the powerblock and then laid back on the ship's stern.
