N2 - Eels are a freshwater fish commodity that has a high economic value, particularly in Indonesia. Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) are a type of omega-3 which is the most dominant in fish oil. EPA and DHA are not produced by the fish's body itself, but rather, it is produced by marine plants like algae. EPA and DHA have an important role in the growth and function of the brain of the organism, including eels. This study aimed to improve the content of EPA and DHA in eels. This research used an experimental method with a randomized complete design consisting of five treatments with four replications. The analysis of the data was conducted using the Variant Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test. If there were any differences among the treatments, then the analysis would be continued with Duncan's Multiple Range Test. The results showed that the EPA and DHA content of the meat increased with the addition of lemuru oil. The DHA content in eel meat in this study was directly proportional to the content of DHA in the formula feed. The addition of lemuru fish oil by 6% could increase the EPA content up to 2.8709%. It could also increase the DHA content up to 1.2951%.
