Abstract This paper discussed the spawning season, spawning area, and metamorphosing area of Japanese eel Anguilla japonica based on the collection records of leptocephali until 1999. The spawning season was considered to be May and June. The spawning area was supposed to be located within 131-141 deg E, 12-18 deg N, and to specify it, collection of fertilized eggs or the smallest leptocephali was proposed. To determine the metamorphosing area, further collection of metamorphosing leptocephali would be necessary at outside of Kuroshio east of Bashi Channel and inside of Kuroshio.
