Summary:
(a) Purpose-made seal restraint nets typically have a lightweight aluminium handle/hoop and 6-mm non-abrasive nylon netting for the body. The body of the net narrows, so that the animal can be moved towards the apex. (b) Juvenile Australian fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus) restrained in a hoop net for removal of polypropylene fishing gear entanglement. The fore flippers are pinned against the trunk and the seal grasped behind the head. To allow access to the animal’s head, a double-ended zipper positioned at the apex can be opened and the net is rolled back. Photos: Zoos Victoria
