  abstract = {{H}ydrodynamic time parameters ({HT}s) in a semi-opened aquatic ecosystem are synthetic indicators offering the opportunity to bring out the links between its physical functioning and its biology. {T}he generic term "residence time" is frequently used through literature to mention {HT}s resulting in various calculation methods. {T}his article presents different computing methods relying on the use of a 3{D} numerical hydrodynamic model and the {HT}s to which they give access. {S}everal large-scale (water exchange time, average water export time, e-flushing time) and local time parameters (export time, flushing lag, local e-flushing time) are defined. {T}he applications presented are carried out within the south-west lagoon of {N}ew {C}aledonia ({SLNC}), on three embedded control volumes. {T}he definition of the control volume is more important for the values of local {HT}s than for their comparative distribution. {T}he comparison of the global hydrodynamic time scales applied to a control volume provides information on the mixing processes inside the control volume.
