The Stability of PSP extracted from the intoxicated sea mussel, Mytilus edulis was evaluated by the thange of heating conditions and pH of the PSP solution. Also the composition of the PSP extracted from the cultured sea mussel collected at Chungmu, Korea on March 12, 1986 was analyzed. The extracted PSP was stable over the range of pH 2.0 to 4.0, but it was unstable above pH 4.5. For example. the toxicity of extracted PSP of pH 3.0 was only decreased less than $20\%$ by the treatment at $121^{circ}C$ for 15min or at 100 for 2 hours, but it was decreased more than $80\%$ by the same treatment when the pH of the PSP solution was adjusted to 6.0. The toxin was purified from the ethanolic extract of the digestive glands of the sampled sea mussel by Bio-gel P-2 and Bio-Rex 70 column chromatography. The toxic fractions obtained were analyzed by cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis, TLC and HPLC. The compositional analytical results of the PSP, most of the toxins were certified as $GTX_{1-4}$, while the toxicity of STX was only about 1/40 of that of $GTX_s$.
