Facts:
What is cormorant fishing?
One person has about five to ten cormorants, and they tie like a leash around the bird's neck and hold onto all of the leashes. If one cormorant gets a fish, then the bird will not be able to swallow it because of the leash. When the owner sees one has a fish, he will pull in the bird, take the fish and put it in a basket.
The cormorants in Japan can only catch one type of fish called Ayu. Ayu is also called the sweetfish because when caught fresh, smells sweet.
When they fish, the owners put a fire near the boat so the fish scales shine, making them easier to catch.
Cormorant fishing is when people use cormorant birds to fish for them.
Who? Where?
