Fisherman at sea, Brittany, France.

Carl and his dog, Keta, at sea aboard the trawler 'Risten', whose home port is Le Guilvinec, France.

The boat is mainly fishing for Nephrops (Langoustine), but has a smaller by-catch of other species.

Most of the time Keta displayed a lack of interest in the catch but kept a keen lookout for any conger eels.

Whenever one was caught, he would catch it dropping out of the net, killing it immediately and then try to play with the dead fish briefly until it could be placed out of his reach.

Nowadays, “les Guilvinistes”, as the fishermen are called in the area, are recognised for their courage and intrepid nature.
