Spawning inducement of striped knife-jaw, Oplegnathus fasciathus, was attempted by two experiments. In experiment I (Exp. I), water temperature was gradually increased from 14.5$^{circ}C$ in December 15, 1996 to $21.0^{circ}C.$ in February 22, `997 and then maintained at this level. Photo-period was also gradually increased from 10.5L/13.5D in December 15, 1996 to 15.5L/8.5D in February 17, 1997, and then maintained at this level. In experiment II (Exp. II), water temperature was increased in the same way from Exp. I. Photoperiod was natural conditions from December 1996 to March 9, 1997, and then suddenly increased to 15.5L/8.5D until the end of experimental period. Spawning of the fish was occurred from February 22 through April 2, 1997 (for 40 days) in Exp. I. Number of total spawned eggs was 30.04 million and fertilization rate was 77.2%. The fish began to spawn at $21.0^{circ}C.$ and 15.5L/8.5D. It requied 65 days to spawn since the water temperature had increased from $14.5^{circ}C.$ to $21.0^{circ}C.$. Spawning of the fish was not occurred until March 9, 1997 in Exp. II. After 7 days, photo-period was suddenly incresed to 15.5L/8.5D and fish were spawned from March 17 through April 4, 1997 (for 20 days). Number of total spawned eggs was 21.28 million and fertilization rate was 72.1%. The fish began to spawn at $21.0^{circ}C$ and 15.5L/8.5D. It required 65 days to spawning since the water temperature had increased from $14.5^{circ}C$ to $21.0^{circ}C.$
