  abstract = {{P}atterns of bivalve larvae dispersal in the deep {A}he atoll lagoon was studied by using a numerical 3{D} transport model ({MARS}3{D}) coupled with a vertical swimming sub-model, forced mainly by tide and wind-induced currents. {T}he simulations were validated against observations of larval dispersal monitored several days throughout the lagoon. {C}onnectivity matrices describing larval exchanges inside the lagoon were inferred. {L}arvae displayed a significant dispersal capacity at the lagoon scale, especially with dominant eastern winds. {W}ith southeastern winds, larvae mostly remained in their origin sector. {T}he total export rate of the larvae, toward the ocean through the pass and shallow lagoon borders, was independent of the wind conditions, with 1% of the total concentration exported per day. {H}owever, the tide-driven currents efficiently flushed larvae in sectors close to the pass. {C}onnectivity matrices suggest that the south and west sectors were more suitable for spat collecting and that central sectors would be efficient sanctuaries if genitors were accumulated.},
