Proximate composition of small variety dried fish products Puntius spp. were<br>determined. The fishes were dried experimentally under solar tent dryer and same species of dried<br>product were dried through open sun drying method. The results of proximate analysis showed<br>significant difference (p<0.05) between the two techniques. Organoleptic evaluations showed no<br>physical damage and no discolouration of fishes under solar tent dryer but in case of open sun drying<br>condition dust and insect infestation were observed. The study reveals that solar tent dried fish<br>products are hygienic compared to that of open sun dried products of same species.</p>}, number={3}, journal={B.R.
