Dolphins Help Fishermen Catch Fish 

Humans to dolphins: aye man, thanks, we appreciate it Dolphins to humans: no problem, mammals gotta help each other out Fish to dolphins: bloody traitors

A wise dolphin once said, "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. "

I live about 1 hour from that place. This form of fishing requires a lot of skill from the fisherman in such a way that it is not enough to have a fishing license, the fisherman needs to be well trained by his elders and dolphins. An unqualified person who injures or kills a dolphin can be sentenced to up to 6 years in prison. These dolphins are considered a local treasure.

The dolphins trained them rather well.

What they didn't tell you is the Dolphins own the Fish company , those men are just there employees lol

I like how it appears as though the dolphins had at least as much of a hand in this scheme as the humans, if not more. I sincerely doubt that some fishermen went out one day with the full intention of domesticating dolphins. My theory is the dolphins saw some fishermen working, quickly noticed that they could get a ton of food by catching the fish that escape the nets, and so over time the dolphins and humans developed a routine which got more and more coordinated and therefore more efficient with time. Mutualistic relationships like this between different species are one of my favorite things to observe in nature because I just love seeing the combination of intelligence and communication involved with both parties.

When I lived in Florida many years ago, there was a dolphin sanctuary that catered to kids with specials needs and to sick people. The dolphins would place their rostrum’s exactly on the affected area that was hurting and in effect, pinpointing the ailment. It was so incredible to watch this. The people would then get medical test performed and sure enough, the dolphins were correct. Dolphins are such extraordinary creatures.

okay, so the dolphins are feeding his human pets? lol! so cute

Damn these humans are so well trained.....

I love dolphins with passion! Is a amazing creature that should be loved and preserved by all.

Im a Pacific Islander & my ancestors have relied on them in the old days when we travel between islands & a storm blows us off course they lead us to the nearest island to take shelter & wait out the storm until the skies are clear.

Aw, the dolphins derserve something for their help.

can someone send this video to japan, teach them the real way to treat a dolphin???

Dolphins be like: "Man Rodrigo is really killin' this year man. He's been ON POINT wit his nets." "Yeah Ted! Unlike my guy fernando, He really needs to be more on time with his queues" "I know mark, Give him time he'll get it." "By the way you heard Rodrigo's son Cesar's coming down next year? He might be new blood soon" "Ooooh. Rookies eh? This is gonna be exciting for 'em. They go NUTS for us"

I often go to Laguna to surfboard in its amazing and beautiful beaches. I can clearly see how respectfully the locals treat ocean life, it's humbling and it incentives us to do the same, also the humpback whales love that place to mate and aren't afraid of humans so we can surfboard right next to them and watch these gentle giants jump and have fun. Dolphins are even bolder and come very close to see what we're doing, sometimes knocking us out of our boards just because. That region of Brazil is blessed without a doubt.

Dolphins are so smart

Why is the camera focused on the lady all the time? "Oh its so amazing to see" - Why would you then zoom in on the lady and not the action ????

Imagine being a fisherman and having to explain that your boss is a school of dolphins. 😆 Brilliant!

Watching this video we have to appreciate intelligence and bond these magnificent sea mammals have with humans. Out there are numerous stories about dolphins helping humans. 1970 I was in navy and I remember our captain of the ship told us that in Navi it is strictly forbidden to harass dolphins and jail sentence was looming if anyone would deliberately hurt dolphins. We loved their presence when they would cut through ship wake and making different sounds when jumping out of water. During winter storms we were looking if there were dolpnereby as officers told us that they would instantly help if someone goes overboard. Magnificent animals I love them dearly.

In some parts of China, fishermen have also established this relationship with dolphins. Usually, after the dolphins herd the school of fish in the shore, the fishermen would give them a part of what they caught to the dolphins. It's absolutely amazing and beautiful really.

So they're using the fishermen as a blockade? Very cool.

I thought I'd never see this day HUMANS AND CREATURES WORKING TOGETHER. This is absolutely amazing. I'd love to watch this happen. Just sitting their watching taking all the beautiful energy in from the dolphins.

I liked the way that Moderator is speaking, her calmness, facial expressions n movement of her hands.. Everything in this video is actually wondeful.

I think she forgot to mention that the dolphins call the shots.

2 species working together in a well coordinated genocide....

That's incredible that the Dolphins actually help the men catch the fish. This just goes to prove that man can live with nature. Dolphins are smarter than a lot of people. The men have to fish that is their livelihood. And they need to feed their families.

The fish are probably thinking, "oh ffs! Can't get away from these damn mammals! It's not enough to worry about there being some in the sea and some on the surface as well, now they're working together!" - StarryStarryNocturne

I just love dolphins.

OH MY Gosh Dolphins are very kind to humans... In Exchange we must protect their homes too from treats

Symbiotic relationship at its best! Dolphins are extremely intelligent! 🐬

The cameraman is focusing on the lady. It should be focused on the fish and sea to watch the video. I don't know why such a professional cameraman is doing stupid job while the producer and director allow the video to air it

May God bless you and protect you wherever you are,Dolphins.

I would've been much more interesting if you just videotaped the fisherman and dolphins instead of yourself talking the whole time

Natural fishers teaching men how to fish. This is one of the best videos I have seen in years! Thank you.

This proves how intelligent dolphins are, imagine teaching fishermen how to catch fish. Amazing. 😍😍😍😍😍

I envy those that have truly seen the magnificent intelligence and kind spirit of dolphins.

Her commentary is so annoying, but what an incredible story! Just wish there was a better reporter not making stupid comments. Dolphins are such amazing creatures.

I will give them a big hug for their hard work. I literally love dolphins so much.

Why have I never heard about this?? This is nuts, totally amazing that humans and marine animals like dolphins have formed a symbiotic relationship like this, I've never seen such a thing with wild animals.

I love this. Has Animal Planet taken this to Japan where the villagers still dolphins because they blame dolphins for eating their catch? Will be great if they stop.

It's so cool how the dolphins realize that the fisherman are trying to catch the fish with the net, and help them.

What is great about this no over fishing, no environmental damage and man and nature working in sync with one another...AWESOME.

Ancient Greeks used to cooperate with dolphins in the same way.

I've had 1 dolphin herd mullet to me 2 separate times(different dolphin I think) in Florida. Which would imply intuitive behavior I think.Their benefit is that the mullet are easier to catch once the net scatters them.

I dont give a crap about the camera women. Stop showing her.

When will us humans realize that if we worked WITH mother nature and the animal kingdom it would work out and benefit everyone. Life doesn't need to be this difficult, we make it that way for ourselves.

WONDERFUL!!! This story is absolutely remarkable! I feel so good knowing that this mutually beneficial cooperative exchange exists between man and nature, the formidable dolphin!

After the fishermen have finished pulling in the nets the Dolphins wait patiently, because the fishermen give the Dolphins their share. Mutually beneficial relationship.

For me, it is nice because dolphins and humans are both taking advantages. Dolphins cannot eat all those fish, so it is good to share those fish to humans so that both dolphins and humans can take advantages.

well, I live in this town called Laguna in the south of Brazil and I can say: this is one of the most beautiful and cordoned interactions between man and animal in the world. I also fish with the help of the dolphins is something incredible believe. Today Unfortunately they are dying and we may never again have their help.

and some people say that God does not exist.... only God or a superior being if you will can create such intelligence such awareness in a creature other than ourselves. my God is awesome!!!!

Dolphins are very intelligent species. I think these dolphin are just playing. And they have figured it out that how to make humans play with them.

My god, it's an Animal Planet show with actual animals in it.....WHAT YEAR IS IT!?

I've got teary eyes wile smiling..... So much joy.... I just love nature.....

Wow! What a beautiful creature 🐬 that’s why I love dolphins ❤️

Ugh this makes my heart warm!!!!!!!!!

Makes me think how short we fall as humans to care and help or even just acknowledge oneanother as humans because of skin color and $ status not even because of kindness generosity or integrity😢

Dolphins: yea gotta help these humans so they can catch what they want and leave.

I'm actually thinking to move there start to make a living catching fish, all I need to invest is a net, no need for boat, gas, insurance, boat license, etc. If I was these people I kept this place secret. I really would. God bless you all over there.

dolphins really are smart creatures. they learn to work with humans.

Then fishermen in this place will going to be lazy... But those dolphins are cute tho.... They are selfless intelligent creatures....

I couldn't help but laugh when she said "Its so weird to see a whole bunch of man...just standing there..."

Mutual understanding..Human and Dolphin!!! Amazing🤗🤗🤗

Welcome to section "Why is this in my recommended?" But... I like it.

I knew I never should've come to this comments section. -groans-

I was raised down around Jekyll Island as a kid and we would go seining with nets at certain tides. The dolphins would swim around us eating the fish and shrimp in our nets. It's was kinda of scary if it was dark and you are up to your shoulders in the water and all the sudden something bumps you. I would pray it was just the dolphins. You could never be sure until you heard them take a breath and squeak. I loved being raised around that area. My dad is a fisherman and we were always around a body of water. Especially if mom was working on the weekends and dad was babysitting. It got us all out of the house and around nature. He would wake us in the morning and say if we got our housework done quickly we would go to the rive or beach. You've never seen kids get chores done faster. I was lucky to have him as a father. Even to this day his happiest moments are on a boat with us grown kids. He has no greater joy than to see one of us Wipeout on a tube or skis! 😂 😂

In my state there are this pod of dolphins that protect the beach from sharks and play with the people

Dolphins: Fish here idiots no catching us in nets A holes!

This is amazing. wow. and How can japanese ppl massacre this amazing animal and eat them? I respect the tradition, but that massacre can not be justified.

lady: absolutely amazing ABSOLUTLEY!!!

this is the first time i watch this amizing video after 5yrs of existing of this video. i love dolphin and i know God use that dolhin to help fisherman 😇

Why would animals be so kind to humans.. Especially when the latter have been extremely cruel...i mean, unnecessary killing for fun, burying them alive, etc... Makes me wonder...

If this happened in ancient times, people would worship the dolphins and treat it like god.

An awesome relationship between man and the sea..

Wow, thats amazing. We should all be working together as animals to better this world.

LMFAO, these Dolphins just schooling fish up for their ease of catching. But humans being so self important feel the Dolphin is doing it for the human. Humans are just dumb

This news piece would have benefited from some drone footage.

Nature is so unpredictable sometimes. And that's beauty of it.

These dolphins 🐬 are so smart, intelligent 🤓 and friendly to human beings.

I believe GOD is behind the scene as He has promised in the Holy Bible that He will never leave us nor forsake us.amen

When you treat nature right:

Men: hey thanks dolphins Dolphins: hey no prob, there are plenty more where that came from. Glad to help a brother out.

This video is amazing. It seems the dolphins have figured out how to use the fisherman to their advantage also. While the dolphins herd the mullet towards the fisherman, the fisherman push the mullets towards the dolphins with their casting nets, a win-win. Now if I could only train our local dolphins to do the same for me here in the Gulf of Mexico, where I fish :-)

Chinese would catch the fishes and thereafter the dolphin too.

*Helps man fishing Dolphins: here you go friend! 🐬 Japanese fisherman: your welcome! *harpoons dolphin 🏹

Dolphins: those humans keep taking our dinner

I wish that the two dolphins will live well and have a long life,abd the fisher man will treat them well..such a good relationship .

there is no real help. the dolphins push the fishes to the shore and the men create a wall so the fiches don't get too close to the beach. the dolphins eat the fish without having to be in danger of getting to close to the shore and the men use their nets to catch fishes. fortunately the dolphins are satisfied with only some fishes so it does not bother them to have the men catch the lots of fishes. it is in the interests of the dolphins to not help them to much so the fishermen will come more often. or maybe the dolphins don't cafe, they could do it close to the beach sometimes

Am I the only one here seeing whats really happening? The dolphins are herding fishes to feed (which is what they do) and the fishermen whom have studied what signals to look for in dolphin's behavior are capitalizing on the dolphin's work. There is no outright willful collaboration happening here. I don't see the fishermen tossing some of their catch back to the dolphins as payment for teamwork. Also they did say the dolphins are wild.

I love dolphins one time in Vietnam I came to a dolphin show they were so amazing and one dolphin answered addition questions it was so cool

In Imbé beach close thé Santa Catarina hâve thé same work thé Dolphins e catchfish!!! Beautiful work men and fishes !!!

Then why do the Chinese eat them, is it some sort of tradition?

What did we do to deserve dolphins?

These dolphins are amazing please take good care of them it's a win win relationship

They won't throw a net without the Dolphins, sea life tells you when you can take from them. I like it

😍👍👏💖🐬🐟🐟💕🤗🇱🇹

Great, now marine mammals are taking jobs away from American fisherman?

Dolphins be like we are gonna help you as long as u guys don't harm us.

the dolphins are smart. they know they have to help the fishermen because if they don't, they probably will get SO MUCH MORE fish and nothing will be left for them.
