[ Objective] The cold shock method was used to induce diploid gynogenesis of Silurus astus. [ Mthod ] The Silurus astus sperms were irradiated by ultraviolet, then conducted for fertilization. The different cold shock starting time and duration were set to observe diploid gynogenesis of Silurus astus. [ Result] Under such inducing condition that ultraviolet irradiated 15 min,cold shock started 5 rain after fertilization, and cold shock duartion was 40 rain,the survival rate of diploid Silurus astus reached the highest（8.5% ）. [ Conclusion] The experiment laid foundation for culturing new excellent Silurus astus variety and accumulated original files tor further study of gynogenesis development mechanism.
