Cormorant: A voracious pelican family sea bird
The cormorant, a large pelican family sea bird, feeds entirely on fish and is noted for greedy symbolism. It dives from the water surface rather than from flight, reaches great depths aided by its underwater vision, and catches fish with swift, dexterous moves.
Cormorant Fishing in Japan Profitable Season Practice
George Elmer Scott describes in Book Lovers Magazine how ringed cormorants are trained for fishing in Japan. Birds wear neck rings to prevent swallowing marketable fish yet allow smaller fish to become their prey. Each bird uses an 18 foot line under master control, yielding four large fish per foray and filling boat bottoms with catch during the May to September season.
