  abstract = {{S}table isotope compositions were studied in particulate organic matter ({POM}), zooplankton and different trophic groups of teleosts to compare food chains based on plankton at two sites (lagoon and outer slope) in a {N}ew {C}aledonian coral reef. {F}or each trophic compartment, delta {C}-13 values were always lower in the outer slope than in the lagoon. {T}his result may be explained by potential differences in {POM} composition between the two environments, suggesting that the two food chains are based on different primary sources of carbon. {I}n contrast, delta {N}-15 values did not vary between the lagoon and the outer slope, indicating that these two food chains presented similar length and trophic levels, despite being distinguishable.},
