A bar seine is the same or similar to a beach seine. However, the technique used is different. A bar seine, as the name implies, is used to bar off schooling fish in an inlet, bay, or cove.... After fish are barred off, a smaller beach seine or tucking seine is used to retrieve the fish.

The bars tend to be more prominent on smaller fish. The first bar extends from the front of the first dorsal fin to the base of the pectoral fin. They have two oblique bands crossing their heads, one extending backward from the eye and the other near the upper jaw.
