Rock trout, Agrammus agrammus(Temminck et Schlegel) is commonly found at the coast of Korean waters. Mature adult of the rock trout were collected at the shore of Dongbaeksom in Pusan during the period from Nov. 18 to Nov. 25, 1983 through know the early developmental characters. The authors carried out the artificial insemination in the laboratory on Nov. 24, 1982, and roared the eggs and the hatched larvae. The eggs of this species are demersal and adhesive, and their diameter were varied within 1.92-2.14mm. The color of yolk is light blue in the early developmental stage, and then turned to orange before hatching out. The yolk contained numerous tiny oil globules. Hatchig toot plnace in ca. 463 hours after insemination at $11.8-17.9^{circ}C$ of water temperature. The newly hatched larvae were elongate in share and 6.55-8.20 mm in total length with 12+26=48 myomers. Many branched melanophores were distributed on the supra-orbital, dorsal double body contour, and peritoneal, and also under the notochord of the tail.
