The paralytic shellfish poisoning was occurred among 25 laborers who worked at breaking-up of ships in Pusan for 5 days from March 29 to April 2 of 1956. For the purpose of accurately defining the paralytic shellfish poison(PSP) , the authors carried out mouse bioassay and chemical analysis. The results were summarized as follows: 1. The mean amount of Paralytic shellfish toxin was $1,207.8{\mu}g$ Per 100gm meat, and the mean death time of mouse was 5 minutes 16 second. 2. The properties of the PSP were mainly gonyautoxin group by chemical analysis(TLC, IR, $^{1}H-NMR$).
