  abstract = {{T}he standing stock and taxonomic composition of zooplankton (> 200 microns) were monitored in the lagoon of {T}ikehau atoll from {A}pril 1985 to {A}pril 1986. {T}hese data were supplemented by two 10 d studies on the variability, structure and functioning of the pelagic ecosystem. {T}he biomass of animals > 2000 comprised 50% of the total biomass of all organisms from 35 to >2000 microns. {T}he zooplankton populations were characterized by successive blooms of copepods, larvaceans, pteropods and salps, probably arising from the periodic input of detritus from the reef during windy period. {A}s a result, the ecosystem was not in a steady state and the data for the fluxes of organic matter are presented separately for april 1985 and april 1986. {U}sing the {C}:{N}:{P} ratio method, net growth efficiencies, {K}2, were calculated for total mezoplankton, mixed copepods, and two planktonic species, #{U}ndinula vulgaris$ and #{T}halia democratica$},
