This research is about spawning behavior and morphological development of the eggs and larvae of fringed blenny which lives in Korean sea. It helps to find out the relation between fringed blenny larvae and other stichaeidae larva. Moreover, it is going to use for the basic data of taxonomical research. There were 8 mother fishes (total length 31.8~34.0 cm, average $32.9{\pm}0.21cm$), which were captured from the cost of Sindeok-dong, Yeosu-si, Jeollanam-do from December, 2010. we used trap to capture them. Mother fishes were brought to glass aquarium ($50{\times}30{\times}35cm$) and nurtured with recirculate rearing system. Breeding water temperature was $12.3{\sim}15.8^{\circ}C$ (average $14.1{\pm}2.47$) and salinity was 32.5~33.5‰ (average $33.0{\pm}0.05$‰). fertilized egg was round, opaque demersal egg. The size was 1.81~2.19 mm (average $2.00{\pm}0.27mm$, n=50). Incubation was begun after 271 hours and 30 minutes from fertilization. It started with piercing the egg membrane. prelarvae had length of 8.45~8.84 mm (average $8.65{\pm}0.28mm$, n=5) right after the incubation, and both mouth and anus were opened. After 11 days from the incubation, postlarvae had length of 10.5~11.3 mm (average $10.9{\pm}0.57mm$), and the number of myotomes was increased to 66.
