Seine fishing?
Hernan Casasbuenas Mar 21, 2019:
A chinchorro is a net that has lead weights.The fishermen throw them in a sweeping motion, and then collect it. It can also be used in a dragnet fashion.

Some fishing equipment references

Last year I had to translate lists of fishing equipment (software strings) and came across the references below. I seem to recall that you can use the codes and abbreviations from the monolingual lists to check the "official" translation in their Spanish counterparts.
