  abstract = {{T}he cross shelf distribution of coral reef fishes according to their trophic structure is examined for 123 visual transects in the {SW} lagoon of {N}ew {C}aledonia. {A}bundance is maximum nearshore whereas biomass is evenly distributed across shelf. {P}iscivores (4-19 % of biomass) are dominated by serranids, with increasing numbers of lutjanids and carangids near the barrier reef, the latter being characterized by mullids and lethrinids. {S}mall, abundant species are differentially distributedd, pomacentrids, dominating nearshore, are gradually replaced by apogonids and #{A}nthias$ spp. near the barrier reef. {G}razers are the main group in biomass but their importance decreases from 65 % on the coast to 28 % on the barrier reef. {S}carids, the main component of grazers (> 50 % of biomass) show an even cross shelf distribution, whereas acanthurids in biomass from 19 % on the coast to 46 % on the barrier reef, siganids showing the opposite trend. {C}omparison with the neighbouring {G}reat {B}arrier {R}eef indicates some analogies such a close species pool, similar biomass distribution of large grazers, of several families of invertebrates feeders and planktivores},
