  abstract = {{M}icrophytobenthos biomass (chlorophyll) and production (oxygen budget) were studied in the {G}reat {A}strolabe {R}eef lagoon in {A}pril and {M}ay 1993. {I}n this study, the term microphytobenthos includes cyanobacteria and all the unicellular algae living in or on sediments. {B}iomass estimated with chlorophyll was present until 8 cm depth in the sediments. {I}n average, chlorophyll concentration at the {SWI} was 8.3 plus or minus 1.2 mg {C}hl/m2 (upper 0.5 cm). {N}et production appeared negative or positive independently of the station depth. {A}verage gross production was 0.3 g {C}/m2/day and strongly correlated with the station depth. {B}iomass and production were in the range of {F}rench {P}olynesian lagoon data.
