As far as I know, the one in the first photo is Lao Huang, 87 years old. He learned to fish with cormorants from his father. As the photographer states, this is just a hobby now and he makes a good living from donations, as well as breeding the birds.

So the Cormorans are trained to get the fish instead of the fishermen ? That's genius 😂
