The open sun rack and solar tent drier were evaluated for their drying effectiveness to evaluate the quality of Stelophorus heterolobus. The highest mean temperature in the solar tent drier was found to be 45 0 c, with relative humidity 42%, while in the open sun rack drying was 35 0 c, with relative humidity 47% at an air speed of 1.8 meter per second. The average moisture, crude protein, total lipids, free fatty acid, peroxide, total volatile basic nitrogen and ash content of the solar tent dried products were 7.5 %, 79.32%, 3.74%, 0.50%, 14.66% , 19.65% and 9.90%, and for open sun rack were7.7% 75.32%, 3.20%, 0.54%, 13.66%, 21.80% and 9.20%, respectively. Total plate count (TPC) of 3.2 × 10 3 cfu/g and 5.7 ×10 3 cfu/g was found within the average level for solar tent and open sun rack driers respectively.The quality of the fish products dried in the solar tent drier was superior compared to that of open sun rack-dried products. It took only three days for the fish to be dried in the solar tent drier compared with the open sun rack dried fish products which took five days to dry.
