Vertically hanging net used to encircle fish (5)

I believe the answer is:

seine

(Other definitions for seine that I've seen before include "Paris river" , "Second longest river in France" , "Paris's river" , "Parisian river" , "French river -- type of fishing net" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
