  abstract = {{S}uspended particulate matter ({SPM}) is a key component of coastal food webs and a key variable of nutrient budgets. {U}nderstanding its variability across short time scales in estuaries may help ecologists understand seasonal and diurnal migration of estuarine organisms, and answer how their nutritional requirements are fulfilled. {I}t may also inform biogeochemists regarding the factors that influence import and export of nutrients between terrestrial and coastal ecosystems. {T}his study aimed to link the dynamics of fatty acids, stable isotopes (delta {C}-13 and delta {N}-15) and {C}/{N} ratios of {SPM}, revealing organic matter quality, to rapidly varying factors ({SPM} concentration, salinity and presence of daylight) and comparing this variability to the seasonal variation induced by the alternation of dry and wet seasons in the studied region. {O}ur results revealed that these rapidly varying factors had a strong influence on the bacterial and the phytoplanktonic compartments of {SPM}. {T}hey suggest that tidally resuspended particles are the site of intense heterotrophic activity and that estuarine phytoplankton store lipids during the daytime up to substantially modifying {SPM} quality. {O}ur study also shows higher freshness of {SPM} during the wet season. {W}e expect this study to raise the interest of both biologists and biogeochemists to introduce daily variability of {SPM} in food webs and nutrient budgets modelling.},
