  abstract = {{T}he structure and trophic organisation of two intertidal seagrass-bed communities (#{H}alodule uninervis$ and #{T}halassia hemprichii$ were examined on the {S}outh-{W}est coast of {N}ew {C}aledonia ({SW} {P}acific {O}cean), from {A}pril 1989 to {M}arch 1990. {F}ive benthic samples were collected from each side at two {M}o intervals and various environmental parameters were simultaneously monitored. {A}nimal plant biomass ratios were close to 1 at both sites. {P}olychaetes dominated in number of species. {T}he suspension-feeding bivalves #{G}afrarium tumidum$ and #{A}nadara scapha$ constituted the greater part of the animal biomass. {T}he evolution of the communities over an annual cycle displayed marked structural and organisational stability, resulting mainly from the absence of distinct recruitment periods for the dominant species, no mortality during the brief low-salinity periods, and no temporal variations in the granulometry, the organic matter or the chlorophyll a contents of the sediments.
