Kapenta Rigs at Rest, Lake Kariba Harbor

A fleet of Kapenta fishing rigs moored in a sheltered harbor on Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe, during a full moon. This archival photograph captures the distinct architectural silhouettes of the rigs, with their long dip-net booms and light-frames. In Kariba’s commercial fishing industry, operations cease during the full moon period as the bright natural light prevents the rigs' attraction lamps from drawing the Kapenta to the surface, resulting in this peaceful, crowded harbor scene.
