Abstract: The wild juvenile skin carp Hemibarbus labeo （Pallas） were collected from the YaLu River and Ai River, and cultured in ponds and net cages for 3~4 years until they became broodstocks. A total of 231 females and 231 males were induced to spaw by injection of the hormone （LHRH-A2＋DOM＋HCG）, and 4700,000 fertilized eggs and 2825,000 fry were obtained in 2009 and 2010. In the study, the techniques of artificial propagation of the skin carp were studied including sexual distinguish, identification of maturity degree, spawning temperature and time, hormone injection, artificial insemination and hatching.

Key words: Hemibarbus labeo, artificial propagation, hatching, fry
