Abstract Vitamin analysis was carried out on five microalgae used in aquaculture:Tetraselmis suecica, Isochrysis galbana, Pavlova lutheri, Skeletonema costatum andChaetoceros calcitrans and one macroalga,Sargassum muticum, which is invasive on the Atlantic shores of France. Both liposoluble (provitamin A, E, K) and hydrosoluble (B1, B2, B6, B12, C, PP) vitamins were quantified. For most of them, greater amounts were obtained in the algal products than in the usual sources. On a dry weight basis,Tetraselmis suecica contained 4280 μg g−1 provitamin A and 6323 μg g−1 vitamin E,Pavlova lutheri 1162 μg g−1 vitamin B12 and 837 μg g−1 vitamin C,Isochrysis galbana 2690 μg g−1 vitamin PP and 183 μg g−1 vitamin B6, andSkeletonema costatum 710 μg g−1 vitamin B1.
