Night fishing with a cormorant
This traditional Chinese town preserve their customs. One of these customs involves a particular fishing technique, which involves the help of a cormorant (a medium sized waterfowl). The fisherman moves on a bamboo raft, shining a powerful spotlight into the water, and throws the cormorant into the sea. It then catches the fish with its beak. Of course, out of the water, the bird can not eat its prey because the fisherman has tied a knot at the neck of the bird that prevents it from swallowing. Following completion of its work, the owner releases the rope from its neck, allowing the cormorant to continue fishing what it needs to feed.
