About three decades, much attention has been focused on the existence of spectrally characteristic UV-absorbing substances, mycosporine-like amino acids, in algae. Now it is well known that mycosporine-like amino acids are present in many marine plants and animals. There are many reports concerning their chemical structures, but few reports concerning their physiological properties. Recently, ultraviolet-B radiation (280 to 320 nm) is well recognized as biological hazard. To investigate the natural defence of marine organisms against exposure of ultraviolet radiation, some kind of marine planktons were collected with a NORPAC net at station, 43°12.49'N 140°10.44'E, during cruise of BOSEI MARU of Tokai University, off Japan Sea on October 27 1993. These planktons were not classified and identified, but were analyzed for the presence of mycosporine-like amino acids. Two mycosporine-like amino acids were identified from these planktons, one is palythine and the other is porphyra-334.
