The invention discloses a starter feed special for pelteobagrus fulvidraco, and a preparation method of the starter feed. The starter feed is prepared from the following components in percentage by mass of 20-60% of fish meal, 10-30% of chicken meat powder, 3-10% of shrimp shell powder, 3-10% of yeast, 10-30% of turmbicula akamushi, 5-15% of spirulina powder, 15-30% of flour, 1-5% of soybean oil,1-3% of phosphatide, 1-3% of betaine, 1-2% of a vitamin mixture, 2-4% of a mineral element mixture, 1-5% of DHA, 1-5% of a microorganism preparation and 1-2% of a phagostimulant. The feed is designed,researched and developed in accordance with the nutritional requirement law of pelteobagrus fulvidraco fries, the particle diameter of the feed conforms to high requirements for culturing of the pelteobagrus fulvidraco fries, the feed is high in food calling properties and high in digestibility and absorbability, the starter rate of the pelteobagrus fulvidraco can be notably increased, the healthy growth of the fries can be effectively promoted, and the survival rate of juvenile pelteobagrus fulvidraco can be notably increased.
