Danish [and] Scottish seining methods are used to catch species of groundfish such as flounder and cod. Both methods use similar nets and series of ropes spread out in a pear-shaped form along the ocean floor. The action of the ropes stirs up a mud cloud and herds the fish into the path of the net. In Danish seining, the vessel remains in a fixed position while the gear is hauled along the bottom. In Scottish seining, the net and ropes are towed along the ocean floor while they are closing. [This] is sometimes referred to as "fly-dragging[. "] 2, record 1, English, - fly%20dragging

Dans le contexte des pêches canadiennes, le terme anglais «flounder» est aussi utilisé, non plus avec le sens spécifique de «flet (Platichthys flesus)» mais avec le sens générique de «tous les poissons plats commerciaux sauf le flétan»; on suggère alors de le traduire par le terme générique «plie». Le terme «flounder» possède un troisième sens encore plus général (flatfish) et on le rend en français par poisson plat. 6, record 2, French, - flet%20d%27Europe
