Description

Cormorant fishing on the Yangtze River in China.

To control the birds, the fishermen tie a snare near the base of the bird's throat. This prevents the birds from swallowing larger fish, which are held in their throat, but the birds can swallow smaller fish. When a cormorant has caught a fish in its throat, the fisherman brings the bird back to the boat and has the bird spit the fish up. According to our guide, the fisherman must let the bird eat every 6th fish else it simply won't catch them.
