• Babylonia areolata
• Broodstock diet
• Egg capsules
• Fatty acid composition

This study is the first attempt to condition broodstock Babylonia areolata using formulated diets under hatchery conditions. Samples of spotted babylon egg capsules from broodstock fed either a formulated diet or a local trash fish, carangid fish (Seleroides leptolepis) for 120 days were analyzed for proximate composition and fatty acid composition. The formulated diet contained significantly higher levels of arachidonic acid (20:4n - 6; ARA), eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n - 3; EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n - 3; DHA) than those of the local trash fish. The formulated diet also had significantly higher ratios of DHA/EPA and (n - 3)/(n - 6) PUFA than those of local trash fish but not for the ARA/EPA ratio. The compositions of egg capsules produced from broodstock fed formulated diet contained significantly more ARA, EPA and DHA compared to broodstock fed the local trash fish. The ARA/EPA and DHA/EPA ratios in egg capsules were significantly higher in the trash fish-fed group compared to those fed the formulated diet. However, (n - 3)/(n - 6) PUFA ratios in egg capsules produced from broodstock fed the formulated diet did not differ significantly compared to those from broodstock fed the local trash fish. The relatively low DHA/EPA, ARA/EPA and (n - 3)/(n - 6) ratios in the egg capsules produced from the formulated diet-fed broodstock B. areolata suggested that this diet is inferior, when compared to the traditional food of trash fish.
