In China, Zongman owns a dozen cormorants that he fishes for himself; they obey his voice and follow him wherever he goes. The cormorants bring several kilos of fish with them every day.

No es una relación simbiótica. En una relacion simbiotica se benefician ambas especies de la "cooperacion". Aqui se trata de un caso de explotacion, tortura y esclavitud hacia el cormoran.. al que le amarran el cuello para evitar que se coman los peces que atrapan, y los condicionan desde chicos para obedecer al humano.

So, this video was released in 1993. It seems unlikely to me that Zhong Man is still around nor, in the age of cell phones, do I hold any hope that his grandson took over, so I'm sort of sad having watched this. This is the sort of thing I watched a lot as a kid and now much later I feel like a great deal of tradition has simply been tossed in the last 30 years.

2:40 case study in editing: when somebody makes a cut from one scene to another, the audience will interpret the two adjacent images as related (see: kuleshov effect). for example: if you have a scene showing a bird, where the narrator explains “the bird’s owner wants to arrange a marriage for this bird”, and then hard cut to a a woman, the audience will (just for a moment) assume: that lady is gonna marry the bird.
