This study aims to determine the effect of adding Egg Yolk with different doses of physiological NaCl diluent media in the sperm storage process on the sperm quality of catfish (Clarias batrachus) outside the body of the fish. While the goal is to determine the optimal dose of adding egg yolk to physiological NaCl diluent media in the sperm storage process on the sperm quality of catfish (Clarias batrachus) outside the fish body. The method used in this study was the "experimental" method. The experiment used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with the assumption that the experimental medium used was homogeneous. The results of this study proved the survival of spermatozoa of local catfish in storage. at a temperature of 50C for six days the highest was found in (P3) of 57.14% and the lowest was found in (P0) of 38.215%. ) namely the addition of 0.5 ml of egg yolk. From the results of the evaluation of fresh semen examination there was an average volume of 2.8 ml with a milky white color and slightly viscous, pH 7.3, mass motility ++, individual motility 73.8%, and concentration of 299.8×107 cells/ml.
