  abstract = {{T}his study was carried out in shrimp ponds from {N}ew {C}aledonia, in order to determine the cause of the exceptional proportion of abnormal tests ({FAI}) (often >50%, sometimes >80%). {FAI} was positively correlated to the quantity of easily oxidized material ({EOM}) deposited on the bottom of the ponds and to the sediment oxygen demand, and negatively correlated to redox. {T}hese results suggest that a very high {FAI} is a potential indicator for great accumulations of native organic matter, leading to a high sediment oxygen demand. {W}hen studying ancient sediments in core samples, exceptional abundances of abnormal tests may indicate periods of high accumulation of {EOM}, and therefore of oxygen depletion. {T}his finding should help in better management of aquaculture ponds, but should also allow new insight into the interpretation of sedimentary records, providing a useful proxy for paleoenvironmental reconstructions.},
