Pengangkutan ikan dapat diartikan sebagai tindakan memindahkan ikan, yang di dalamnya diberi tindakan-tindakan untuk menjaga agar derajat kelulusan hidup sampai ditempat tujuan. Untuk mengurangi stres selama pengangkutan dibutuhkan benih yang berkualitas. Terdapat beberapa metode untuk meningkatkan benih yang berkualitas seperti transgenin, manipulasi lingkungan dan lain-lain, tetapi cara ini belum efektif dalam meningkatkan kualitas benih. Dibutuhkan metode lain dalam meningkatkan kualitas benih seperti penggunaan bahan alam seperti kunyit dan hormon tiroksin. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) terdiri dari 4 perlakuan dan 3 ulangan. Ikan uji yang digunakan adalah benih ikan lele sebanyak 120 ekor dengan padat tebar 10 ekor/plastik. Benih yang digunakan berasal dari indukan yang diberikan perlakuan pemberian pakan berbeda yang terdiri dari K (kontrol), A (pakan dengan tambahan kunyit), B (pakan dengan tambahan tiroksin), C (pakan dengan tambahan kunyit dan tiroksin). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa indukan yang diberikan pakan modifikasi tepung kunyit (Perlakuan A) berpengaruh nyata dalam meningkatkan daya tahan benih lele pada proses pengangkutan tanpa oksigen, yang menghasilkan tingkat kelangsungan hidup sebesar 93%, dan tidak ada perbedaan bobot dan panjang antar perlakuan.

Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) is a type of freshwater fish that can breed, grows relatively fast and is tolerant of unfavorable aquatic environmental conditions, but the problem is the availability of catfish seeds is limited by the low survival value of the seeds at the beginning of maintenance. Transporting fish can be interpreted as the act of moving fish, in which measures are given to maintain the degree of survival to the destination. To reduce stress during transportation, quality seeds are needed, there are several methods to increase quality seeds such as transgenins, environmental manipulation and others. But this method has not been effective in improving seed quality. Other methods are needed to improve seed quality, such as the use of natural ingredients such as turmeric and the hormone thyroxine. This research method used a completely randomized design (RAL) consisting of 4 treatments and 3 replications. The test fish used were 120 seed catfish with a stocking density of 10 fish/plastic. The doses used were K (contol), A (turmeric), B (thyroxine), C (turmeric and thyroxine). Increase the resistance of catfish fry in the transport process without using oxygen by using seeds obtained from broodstock fed with modified feed of turmeric flour and thyroxine hormone. The results of the study of seeds obtanied from brooders who were given turmeric flour modified feed had a significant effect on increasing the resistance of catfish seeds in the transportation process without oxygen which showed that treatment A (turmeric) was the best treatment resulting in a survival rate of 93%,and the weight were not significantly different by 0,1 (grams), and changes in length of 0,74 (cm) were not significantly different.
