One ancient community in Bangladesh that uses otters to fish and lives in tandem with the Buriganga river is slowly disappearing because of industrial pollution and a decline of fauna in the water. Fishing with otters is a part of their livelihood, as the trained mammals lure fish into their nets. The practice has been in existence for about 1,500 years, but Bangladesh is perhaps its last bastion: http://aje.me/ZhOGTQ
