- The types of cormorants used differ based on the location. In
Gifu,
Japan, the
Japanese Cormorant (P. capillatus) is used; Chinese fishermen
often employ
Great Cormorants (P. carbo).[2]
Darters
(Anhinga), which are very close relatives of cormorants, are also
used for this fishing technique on occasion.
