This study was undertaken to know the distribution of V. parahaemolyticus in sea fishes feeding at an aquarium and from kitchen environments of restaurants located in Masan, Kyungnam, during May and June, 1979. Results obtained are as follows: The detection rate of V. parahaemolyticus was calculated as 21.1% from 1103 specimens; as 38.1% from 336 sea fishes and as 10.4% from 675 kitchen environments. The detection rate of V. parahaemolyticus were 49.6% from 127 sea fishes feeded at an aquarium contaminated by V. parahaemolyticus and 31.1% from 209 sea fishes feeded at an aquarium not contaminated by V. parahaemolyticus. The detection rate of V. parahaemolyticus were shown as 14.6% from 261 kitchen environments having an V. parahaemolyticus contaminated aquarium but as 7.7% from 414 kitchen environments of restaurants having an aquarium not contaminated by V. parahaemolyticus.
