And whereas it is expedient to amend the hereinbefore-recited regulations in the manner hereinafter prescribed:

REGULATION.

9. For the purposes of these regulations-

A "Danish seine net" is a net having a wing on each side of the cod-end or bag, with a warp attached to each wing, and which is operated by being drawn over the sea bottom or through the sea, the power for hauling in the net to the vessel being provided by a winch driven by an internal-combustion or steam engine. Such hauling operations shall be carried out only while the vessel is moored or anchored and not under way.

"Trawling" or "using a trawl net" means drawing a net over the sea bottom, or through the sea by means of one or more vessels under way.
