  abstract = {{O}n a total of 363 bottoms longline sets in the {SW} lagoon of {N}ew {C}aledonia, 45 were surveyed using visual census. {A}bundance and biomass estimates were derived from these censuses. {T}hese estimates were highly correlated to catch per unit effort in numbers and weight. {F}rom these relationships were established contour maps of soft bottom fish abundance and biomass. {T}he total biomass of longline catchable fish was estimated between 11800 and 25500 tons with an average of 17700 tons which represents 5.8 tons/km2. {I}t was also estimated that longline catchable fish represented 48 % of the total fish biomass of soft bottoms. {C}omparisons with other soft bottom fisheries in the region are presented.
