Oysters eat phyto and zooplankton, these are tiny plants and tiny animals that are always present in the worlds oceans.They are filter feeding mollusks, and as such capture their tiny meals with filaments extended in the water like very fine fingers.

∙ 11y agoOysters feed with filter feeding. They can filter up to 1.3 to 2 gallons of water an hour, so about 31.2 to 50 gallons a day. They filter feed to eat the plankton and algae that is in the water. Oysters are also very sensitive to pollution in the water and if there is to much they will die. They will die because they are filtering the waste instead of their food and the food particles can also die if they are alive.
