The invention discloses a method for preparing a rainbow trout IHN (Infectious Haematopoietic Necrosis) inactivated vaccine, which comprises the following steps: carrying out grinding, filtering and poison dipping processing on pancreas and livers of juvenile fish which is attacked, but is still alive, inoculating rainbow trout gonad (RTG) cells, carrying out blind passaging at 14 DEG C, keeping for 5 days when carrying out blind passaging on the tenth generation, and collecting cell poisonous fluid; inoculating chinook salmon embryonic (CHSE) cells, carrying out passaging at 14 DEG C, and raising the culture temperature by 1 DEG C when passaging for 5 generations each time until the culture temperature is raised to 20 DEG C; and adopting epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells to continuously carry out passaging under the condition of 20 DEG C, passaging to the twelfth generation to obtain high-titer virus solution and carrying out inactivation to obtain the rainbow trout IHN inactivated vaccine. According to the preparation method, RTG-2, CHSE-214 and EPC cells are utilized to alternately culture rainbow trout IHN viruses at a specific environment temperature so as to obtain a high-titer IHNV (Infectious Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus) antigen and produce the inactivated vaccine; and the technical difficult problem that the high-titer IHNV antigen cannot be obtained through single cells is solved.
