In this paper, we introduce the notion of prime hyperideals and maximal hyperideals in ternary hypersemirings and we study some of their properties. We construct a ternary semiring P∘(S), corresponding to a strongly distributive ternary hypersemiring S and obtain various results among them. We also establish an inclusion preserving bijection between the set of all prime hyperideals of S and collection of all prime total k-ideals of P∘(S).
