  abstract = {{L}agoons and marshes account for more than 50% of the coastal area in the {L}anguedoc {R}oussillon region ({S}outh of {F}rance, {M}editerranean {S}ea). {T}he lagoons are very different in their physical and chemical characteristics, eutrophication level and resource exploitation mode. {I}n this study, different levels of taxonomic diversity and two indices ({D}elta(+) and {L}ambda(+)) based on macrophyte, zoobenthos and fish communities are used to compare three lagoons ({I}ngril, {P}revost and {M}augulo). {W}hilst the taxonomic diversity of the fish community seems not influenced by the lagoon characteristics, the benthos community is strongly related to their eutrophication status. {W}ith the same sampling effort we identified 7 benthic species in {M}augulo, the most impacted lagoon, while 24 species were found in the {I}ngril lagoon, which is the less impacted one. {O}verall, the variance of taxonomic distinctness {L}ambda(+) appeared as the best indicator of the lagoon eutrophication level. {T}his index is always highest for the {M}auguio lagoon, whatever the biotic compartment considered. {I}n a more stable environment like in the {I}ngril lagoon (lower variations of salinity, temperature or turbidity), {L}ambda(+) is low, i.e., the structure of the taxonomic tree is very regular with a relatively homogeneous partition of species among phyla. {B}y contrast, when salinity variations are wide, like in the {M}auguio lagoon, the taxonomic tree becomes irregular with some lineages less constrained (many species belonging to the same family), while others are more impacted with a limited number of species in these phyla.},
