Resumo: | Meiofauna is a functional group made of small benthic metazoans 45 to 500µm in size. Although protista, foraminifera living in this kind of environment are often put in to the meiofauna. Meiofauna has been studied in New Caledonia for its double role as biological indicator for monitoring pond health status and as shrimp forage. Suitability of EOM (easily oxidized material), SOD(sediment oxygen demand),as new biochemical tools for monitoring shrimp pond health was assessed in an environmental survey aiming to assess the role of the water/sediment interface in the occurrence of the summer syndrome vibriosis. EOM, SOD and redox were correlated with shrimp survivals. Lowest meiofauna biomass and abundance were concomitantly found in the most polluted station. Proportion of abnormal tests over exceeding the one found in areas subjected to natural ecological stress were collected and were positively related to EOM and SOD and negatively to redox. Shrimp pond dominant species are common to estuaries and lagoons. But foraminifera abnormal behaviour indicates specific shrimp pond conditions
