a fishing boat that lassos entire schools of fish with a wall of net
means A fishing boat that catches fish using a seine, a large vertical net drawn around a school and then pulled closed at the bottom.
from From the seine net that gives the boat its work and its name. "Seine" comes through Old English segne and Old French saine from Latin sagena, itself borrowed from Greek sagēnē, a fishing net — a word that has hauled in catches across the Mediterranean since antiquity. The suffix "-er" simply marks the vessel as the thing that does the seining.
