In this paper number of mathematical models describing fish drying are developed and discussed. In this perspective, drying experiments were performed to evaluate the drying characteristic of Magur fish (Clarius Batrachus). An incubator was used for this experiment at three different temperatures viz. 50°C, 60°C, 70°C and at constant air velocity of 3.6 m/s. The changes in the mass of fish and principle drying parameters were recorded continuously every one hour interval from morning to evening in each test day. The test on these models was investigated by comparing the coefficient of determination (R^2), reduced chi-square (χ2) and root mean square error (RMSE) between the observed and predicted moisture ratio. On the basis of highest value of (R^2) and lowest value of reduced chi-square (χ2) and root mean square error (RMSE) the Midli et al. drying model was found to be satisfactorily describing drying curves of fish.
