. In this paper we consider the prime decomposition of knots in closed, oriented 3-manifolds. (For classical knots one can easily prove the uniqueness of prime decomposition by using a standard innermost disk argu-ment.) We define a new relation, conjugation, between oriented knots in closed, oriented 3-manifolds and prove the following results. ( 1 ) The prime decomposition is, roughly speaking, uniquely determined up to conjugation, (2) there is a prime knot á? in SlxS2 suchthat âl#3?\ = 3¡#X2 if ^¡ is a conjugation of ^2 ) and (3) if a knot 3? has a prime decomposition which does not contain 31, then it is the unique prime decomposition of X .
