Many of the local fisherman use cormorants for fishing. It takes a year to train these birds to fish for their master. They only fish at night. A lantern is put in the water at night to attract fish and the cormorants dive under the surface to catch the fish and return it to the fisherman's boat. Night is required to both attract the fish and prevent the cormorants from being seen by the diving birds. This has been practiced for centuries.
