Viability of Najawa carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) sperm at 4°C temperature storage

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the sperm viability of Najawa carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) in cryopreservation pre-conditions at 4°C. The design used in this study was Complete Randomized Design with 4 treatments, BSS as a control, 10 DMSO, 0,2 M Sucrose, and 5 DMSO + 0,1 M Sucrose; each consist of three replications. The parameters observed were progressive motility of fresh sperm, diluted sperm before low temperature storage, and 2 hours; 3 hours; 4 hours; 5 hours; one day; one week; a month after 4°C storage. The data were analyzed by ANOVA. The data showed that there was no significant difference between treatment (P>0.05). The best viability was 40.56 of sperm motility which survive for one week, it was achieved by 5 DMSO + 0,1 M Sucrose. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2020.
