If you have any suggestions on this I am all ears. I do have aeration I can turn back on if needed but probably need to pull the diffuser during the seine process. This will be new territory for me.

Pump it down, and run the diffusers as long as possible, then yank them, or just get in the water when seining and pick the seine up over the diffusers.

Better to seine 2x-3x than to crowd all the fish into one big pull. The HSB will wipe the slime off of each other when crowded. Make sure you salt the transport water heavily if just moving the HSB, you can go really heavy on the salt. 3-10 g/l. i.e. 7 -10 pounds of salt per 100 gal of water isn't too much for them.
