The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of different cryoprotectants and sperm densities for longterm storage of orange mud crab, Scylla olivacea spermatozoa. Spermatozoa were obtained by homogenizing the spermatophores using a glass homogenizer in an ice-bath followed by centrifugation at 4°C. Spermatozoa were then suspended in calcium-free saline (Ca-F saline)
