Italian term or phrase: bilancino
This is a historic type of net used in the Adriatic to fish lattini (big-scale sand smelt).

The translation is for a museum.

There is a model of a boat with this type of "bilancino" net, and then this in the description: "Il latterino era pescato in grandi quantità con apposite reti, alcune montate su cerchi di vimini (cerchio d’anguèle)" so I presume the bilancino net is usually mounted on these willow hoops.

I'm really struggling to find any useful sources for this. There are quite a few "bilancino" nets on sale on the internet, but obviously of the modern kind. They don't seem to fit this description as they are square with two poles.

I BILANCIONI
Numerose e diverse sul litorale del veneziano e lungo le aste dei suoi fiumi vi sono delle reti a bilancia formate da rete **di forma in genere quadrangolare*** chiamati “bilancioni”.
