| Monitoring of French Polynesia coral reefs and their recent development.-French Polynesia, consisting of 118 islands in the centre of the Pacific Ocean, has more than 15 000 km(2) of reefs and lagoons managed by the local government. Tourism and pearl culture are the two main economic resources of the country. Polynesian coral reefs are extremely diverse and are among those for which we have thorough knowledge. The exploitation of local resources has been recorded for multiple decades and includes : coral materials, fishing, harvest and export of mother-of-pearl molluscs, pearl production, and ornamental fish. All over the country, many monitoring programmes have been launched to measure the health of reefs and the natural and anthropogenic perturbations... |

| From the lagoon at Fangataufa Atoll, French Polynesia, forty-two species of harpacticoid copepods belonging to 21,genera were identified; over a third of them are new. The assemblages were largely dominated by epipsammic forms of the family Diosaccidae. Some endopsammic harpacticoids were found in deep water silty-sands, but mesopsammic forms were very rare. The harpacticoid community structure of the lagoon appears to be determined primarily by sediment granulometry as controlled by reef hydrodynamics. The harpacticoid copepod assemblages permit the identification of two major zones within the lagoon, namely the muddy deep central zone, and the inner sandy fringe at the periphery. |
