enjoys the art of fishing.
The most popular fishing styles are known to even
the most casual hunters and fishers, such as fly
fishing or ice fishing. However, there are several
less common fishing practices, including methods
that require the fisherman to cooperate with an
animal partner. Cormorant fishing, for example, is a
simple and popular form of fishing in China.

3. Cormorant fishing, for example, is a simple and
popular form of fishing in China. Cormorant
fishermen tie a band around the neck of a trained
bird, which prevents the bird from swallowing larger
fish. After a successful outing, the cormorant
returns to the boat and releases its catch. Dogs can
also be trained to catch or retrieve fish from shallow
waters.
Dolphin-assisted fishing is another form of fishing
that features animal assistance, though it is much
rarer than cormorant or dog fishing because the
dolphins are wild and in no way formally trained.

4. The most well-documented instance of this
collaboration in 2012, when a number of
Brazilian bottlenose dolphins developed
signals to indicate when and where
fishermen should deploy their nets. The fish
that escaped the nets were soon captured by
the dolphins, making for a mutually beneficial
arrangement.
