The cormorants are known as 鸕鶿 lúcí, or sometimes 鸕鷥 lúsī. Without qualification, 鸕鶿 lúcí refers to the Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo). A popular name for P. carbo is 魚鷹 yú-yīng 'fish hawk' (also a name for the osprey).

The Orient has a long tradition of using the cormorant for fishing. In Chinese, cormorant fishing (mainly using P. carbo) is colloquially known as 放鷹 fàng yīng 'to release the hawk'. Chinese fishermen refer to their birds as yīng 'hawk', related to the popular name 魚鷹 yú-yīng 'fish hawk'. The expression 放鴉 fàng yā 'release the crow' is also used, based on the popular name 水老鴉 shuǐ lǎo-yā 'water crow'.
