With nets in hand，the fishers patiently wait as their cetacean(鲸类的)partners drive the fish tward the shre.A signal frm the dlphins—usually a deep dive—indicates when they shuld cast their nets.This fishing partnership has passed dwn thrugh the generatins，lasting fr mre than a century.
While researchers knew humans prfited frm this pairing，they culdn't cnfirm whether it benefited the dlphins.Nw，in a new study in Prceedings f the Natinal Academy f Sciences，researchers suggest cetaceans that hunt with humans have mre chances t live than thse that dn't.
“Human­wildlife cperatin in general is a rare phenmenn at a glbal scale，”says Maurici Cantr，a bilgist at Oregn State University and leader f the study.“Usually humans gain the benefit，and nature pays the cst.But this interactin has been happening fr ver 150 years.”
Fishers were mre successful when they wrked with the dlphins.When dlphins were present，the fishers were 17 times mre likely t catch prey(猎物)and netted nearly fur times mre mullet when they timed their casting with the cetaceans' signals.Eighty­six percent f all 4，955 mullet caught during the study perid came frm“synchrnus(同时发生的) interactins” — when the allies rganized their actins perfectly with ne anther.
The study als revealed dlphins hunting with humans had a 13 percent increase in the survival rate ver ther dlphins.These cperative dlphins are mre likely t stay near the shre，reducing their chance f entanglement(缠住)in illegal fishing equipment.Besides，the dlphins can take sme fish directly frm the fishers' harvest.
