Traditional Chinese fishing with cormorantsCormorant fishing is one of the oldest fishing traditions in China, Japan, and Vietnam. The cunning Chinese came up with a simple solution: a thin ring is put on the bird's neck. You can breathe, drink and fly freely, but it will not work to swallow a large fish – remember, birds do not chew, after all.
