Fisheries / sardine fishing
French term or phrase: anse du filet
Hello,

"Son boulot à lui (le marin), c’est de faire ce mouvement avec l’aviron, un va et vient, qui effraie la sardine et la refoule. Il refoule le poisson vers le fond de l’anse du filet de façon à ce que la sardine maille."


I'm not sure how to translate this, is it "purse", or "loop", or something else..

Thank you
