<![CDATA[Catfish (Pangasius pangasius) is one of the fishery commodities with high economic value, both in seeding and rearing efforts. However, increasing the production of good-quality catfish seeds has so far relied on the help of the pituitary. This study aims to determine the effect of differences in storage temperature on catfish sperm motility. The research method used a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and three replications, namely P1 (-5°C/1 cc sperm), P2 (-15°C/1 cc sperm), P3 (5°C/1 cc sperm), and P4 (15°C/1 cc sperm). The parameters observed included pH, color, odor, volume, and sperm motility. The results of the observation showed that the best sperm motility was obtained at P1 (-5°C/1 cc sperm) with a value of 2.6 (good criteria). At P3 (5°C/1 cc sperm) and P4 (15°C/1 cc sperm), sperm motility was in the poor criteria with values of 2 and 1.6, respectively. The lowest motility value was obtained at P2 (-15°C/1 cc sperm) with a motility value of 1 (poor criteria).]]>
