Abstract
North Bihar has a natural network of rivers originating from Himalayas and/or Nepal. Their catchments are enough to deluge whole northern part of the state. Harsh climate changes in recent years on global scale, mostly attributed to global warming have increased frequency and severity of these flash floods. Gradually, these floods have eroded traditional aquaculture practice. In rainy season, inaccessibility causes slump in fish-price while floods causes fish-escape. In this paper, solar fish drying technology is developed and proposed for these seasonally inundated areas to combat food deficit. Experiments were carried out in controlled environment to assess the tolerance level and product quality of dried fish. Thereafter, solar designs are proposed. These designs have immense potential for additional food supplement to rural areas and may also be exploited for economic activities like export.
