title: Flies, fish and food.
abstract: Dried fish are an important part of the traditional diet in many developing countries. But, during sun drying, the fish can become infested by maggots, leading to comprehensive destruction of the crop. Understanding the life cycles and seasonal abundance of the flies and their larvae is an essential step in the development of sustainable management programmes to reduce losses.
