Photos: Congo: A Day of Fishing on Lake Kivu | future planet

Innocent at dawn in the canoe in which he works with his brother Rigobert on Lake Kivu. They have hauled in the nets and counted the catch, and are preparing to go back and sell the fish in the market. Innocent folds the heavy nets and wraps them in plastic bags to prevent any damage, rips or tears that could allow fish to escape.

If they are lucky with the catch, the crews of the small canoes can expect to earn about $10 or $12 a day, of which only a small portion is left clean.
