A case of working together that brings mutual benefit. Just another example of how intelligent dolphins are.

That is fascinating but I wonder if the fishermen have just learned to read the signs of dolphins playing when they aren't hungry - they just happen to be chasing the fish for fun.

Other fishermen use cormorants, although a tether is involved so it is not symbiosis it is still fascinating

Barry // dolphins playing when they aren't hungry -//
I don't think that is the case as the dolphins are eating the fish that escape the nets.

Yes, danny, I read it again. I swear I read 'even when the dolphins are not hungry...'

Maybe the fishermen have learned to read the dolphins in the same way that seagulls have learned to follow the trawlers - still clever, though :)

Maybe clever of the dolphins and humans, but not good news for the fish.
