  abstract = {{B}lack pearl farming is the second source of {F}rench {P}olynesia income after tourism, and {G}ambier {I}slands are the main farming sites. {G}ambier main lagoon contains several sub-lagoons critical for pearl oyster rearing and spat collecting ({SC}). {T}he {R}ikitea lagoon, traditionally had good {SC} rates in the warm season which ensured steady supplies of oysters for black pearl production. {H}owever, since 2018, {SC} has abruptly decreased. {T}o assess the factors affecting {SC}, {G}ambier lagoon hydrodynamics was investigated in 2019-2020 to calibrate a hydrodynamic model and simulate larval dispersal around the {SC} areas. {T}he model shows the strong wind influence on larval dispersal and accumulation patterns and suggests that windy months in the warm season as it can occur during {L}a {N}in & {SIM};a episodes can explain recent poor {SC}. {L}arval dispersal scenarios also informed on best locations to perform adult oyster restocking, a practice that can also enhance {SC} on the long term.},
