  A 120-day feeding experiment was conducted to determine the effects of dietary partial replacement of tuna oil by corn oil at different ratios in formulated diets, by which growth performance and proximate composition of juvenile  spotted babylon Babylonia areolata was analyzed. Four isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were formulated with 10% lipid derived from the following lipid sources: diet A (100% tuna oil without corn oil (control), diet B: 50% tuna oil and 20% corn oil, diet C: 30% tuna oil and 40% corn oil and diet D: 10% tuna oil and 60% corn oil. This study showed that all formulated diets were well accepted by the snails throughout the culture period. There were no significant differences in body weight gain, shell length increment and growth rate among the feeding experiments. No significant differences were observed in feed conversion ratio among the dietary treatme.. View More»
