lampara
(English) Spanish for lamp. Similar to, but much smaller than, a purse seine with no pursing action. This net is generally used for catching artificial light attracted schools of small fish such as anchovy and pilchard. There is a central spoon-shaped section and two lateral wings and the net is usually operated from a small boat.
