捕鱼 The Cataracts

1846年，探险家亨利-莫顿-斯坦利第一个踏上卢瓦拉巴河流域并发现了现在的民主刚果共和国当地居民的一种独特的捕鱼方式。他们在湍急的水面上搭建木架，编制巨大的木篮捕鱼。

In 1876 the explorer Henry Morton Stanley first encountered the Lualaba River in what is today the Democratic Republic of Congo. While traveling along the Lualaba Stanley encountered the cataracts, a series of seven rapids stretching over 100km and around which he was forced to drag his boats while continuously facing attack from the Wagenia tribe. Stanley named the cataracts Stanley Falls and was to found the settlement of Stanleyville after the last cataract, where the river once more became navigable and where at last it became the Congo River. Stanleyville was renamed Kisangani in 1966 and today is one of DRC's largest cities. Stanley Falls is now Boyoma Falls and from Kisangani's bustling banks it is possible to look upstream and see a raging line of whitewater; the seventh and last cataract, which Stanley called a 'tumultuous rush'. Arriving here in 1877 Stanley described the method of fishing used by the Wagenia people, whereby they would climb out over the rapids on wooden frames and use wooden baskets to catch fish. The scene has not changed in over one hundred and thirty years.

2010年8月4日：渔民检查位于刚果基桑加尼附近的博约马报瀑布的木篮。大部分木篮建在河边，但也有一些渔民会把木篮放在河中央，因为他们相信哪里水流最湍急哪里的鱼就会最强壮最大。

Most of the wooden frames are built near the river's edge but some of the fishermen build frames in the very center of the river were the flow is greatest as they believe this is where the strongest, and biggest, fish live.

2010年8月4日，一名渔夫在位于刚果基桑加尼附近的博约马报瀑布中检查木篮。在这里捕鱼最大的困难就是应付强劲的水流，也就是在这里卢瓦拉巴河汇入刚果河。

The fishing here is some of the most difficult as fishermen must battle the full force of the flow, and it is here that the Lualaba River becomes the Congo river.
