The present study was undertaken to observe fish drying practice in the remote and isolated island of Bangladesh. Experiments were conducted to assess the cured loss of blow-fly and its larva "Maggot" infestation, their diurnal activities and seasonal abundance on traditional sun drying of ribbon fish at field level. Experiments were carried out at a concentration of 0.12, 0.06 and 0.03% pirimiphos-methyl (organophosphorus) along with that "Nogos" of 0.25% (present practice) and saturated brine treatment in reducing blow-fly infestation. The treatment of saturated brine and 0.03% pirimiphos-methyl gave comparatively good result (yield 41.5 - 41.6%) than control; whereas 0.12 and 0.06% pirimiphos-methyl treatment gave fair result (yield 42.7 - 43.2%), "Nogos" 0.25% treatment gave complete protection against blow-fly infestation. Blow-fly infestation on untreated control ribbon fish gave an yield 36.6% of about 5% less than the treated one.
