<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Dietary sterol is required by the oyster for growth, and sterol is believed to be obtained primarily from dietary phytoplankton. Seven isolates of<jats:italic>Chaetoceros</jats:italic> and one of<jats:italic>Skeletonema</jats:italic>, which are of potential use as oyster food, were analyzed for sterol composition using gas chromatography, high‐performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.<jats:italic>Skeletonema</jats:italic> and five isolates of<jats:italic>Chaetoceros</jats:italic> contained cholesterol as their major sterol. Two other isolates of<jats:italic>Chaetoceros</jats:italic> also contained cholesterol, but 24‐methylenecholesterol was the principal sterol. Cholesterol has rarely been reported as the major sterol from phytoplankton. In view of the widespread occurrence of<jats:italic>Skeletonema</jats:italic> and<jats:italic>Chaetoceros</jats:italic> in the marine environment, these algae could be an important source of the oyster's cholesterol.</jats:p>
