The invention provides an artificial propagation method for yellowfin groupers. The artificial propagation method comprises the steps that (1) parents are selected; (2) a parent breeding pond is separated into a deep water area and a shallow water area with water flow communicated, wherein the water depth of the deep water area ranges from 4 m to 5.5 m, and the water depth of the shallow water area ranges from 3 m to 3.5 m; (3) parent fish breeding management is carried out, wherein a, in first 3 weeks during breeding, LED green light and yellow light alternately irradiate the water surface ofthe pond, and after the parent fishes are bred for 3 weeks or longer, the water surface of the pond is irradiated by the LED green light; b, feed is prepared from 3-5 parts of grouper compound feed and 1-2 parts of small fish and shrimp and artificial pellet feed, the parent fishes are fed with the first feed in the first 3 weeks during breeding, and the parent fishes are fed with the second feedafter being bred for 3 weeks or longer; c, the water temperature of the pond ranges from 21 DEG C to 26 DEG C, and water dissolved oxygen is larger than 4.8 mg/L; (4) breeding is enhanced before propagation is carried out; (5) artificial propagation is carried out; (6) zygotes are collected and hatched. According to the artificial propagation method for the yellowfin groupers, the adaptive capacity to environment of the parent fishes is enhanced, the activities of fish shoals are effectively promoted, the feeding rate is effectively increased, the fertility is high, and large-scale artificialbreeding of the yellowfin groupers can be effectively achieved.
