  • The biweekly monitoring of paralytic shellfish toxin on wild mussels (Mytilus corsucus) was carried out at Jangmok Bay, near Koje Island from Feb, 1996 to Feb. 1997. Toxicity and toxin composition were monitored by means of the mouse bioassay and HPLC. Paralytic shellfish toxin was detected from 27 March to 27 May and 28 November. This is the first record of paralytic shellfish toxin during autumn in Korean waters. Toxin composition between the two different season was similar and was composed of 5$\~$8 toxin fractions as GTXs STXs and PXs. The major toxin component in affected musssels shifted from GTXs in spring to PXs in autumn.
