The invention relates to an artificial eel propagation method, which includes: a, ripening parent fishes, breeding catadromous parent reels for seven days, gradually increasing salinity of water, and subjecting the parent eels to back intramuscular injection of ripening agent-carp pituitary gland homogenate and HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin); b, performing induced spawning of the parent eels, subjecting female eels to injection of oxytocin 17 alpha-hydroxyl progesterone and HCG, subjecting sperm-producing male eels to injection of mixture of CPE (carp pituitary extract) with HCG, collecting naturally spawned fertilized eggs on the next day, and subjecting the female eels laying no eggs to semi-dry artificial insemination; and c, hatching the fertilized eggs, immediately transferring the fertilized eggs to a special-made hatching barrel for hatching, and slightly aerating, changing half of water every four hours until fry are hatched successfully. The artificial eel propagation method has the advantages that anesthetic loss and operational injury can be prevented, injection dosage of hormones is reduced, a great amount of eels can mate and lay eggs naturally under artificial induced spawning, artificial insemination can be complete securely in a planned way, level of high-quality fertilized eggs and alevin of eels artificially propagated is increased.
