  abstract = {{W}ater quality parameters, sediment oxygen demand ({SOD}), dissolved organic and inorganic nutrient fluxes, and {N}-cycle processes (nitrification; denitrification; dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium ({DNRA})) were determined in a {N}ew {C}aledonian mangrove receiving shrimp farm effluent and a natural mangrove. {E}ffluent was enriched in nutrients and organic matter, and significantly stimulated {SOD} and nutrient regeneration rates in the receiving sediments. {A}ll {N}-cycling processes were stimulated between similar to 2 and 12-fold in the sediments receiving effluents compared to the natural mangrove. {H}owever, due to the preferential enhancement of {DNRA} compared to denitrification, there was no significant increase in net nitrogen elimination compared to the significant increase in sediment nutrient regeneration rates. {T}hese results indicate that the mangroves are only a partial filter for the shrimp farm effluent, as confirmed by the elevated nutrient concentrations measured in an external, marine creek of the effluent receiving mangrove.},
