  abstract = {{T}he {T}ikehau atoll ({T}uamotu {A}rchipelago, {F}rench {P}olynesia) is located at 14°{S} 148°{W}. {P}hytoplankton and sand microalgae are the most important primary producers of the lagoon. {T}hey were studied for 4 years. {T}he relationship between light energy and lagoonal primary production was measured by using the 14{C} method for phytoplankton and {O}2 method for phytobenthos. {I}ncubations, carried out #in situ$, were made at different depths and light exposition times. {I}rradiance was hight and 17% of the light energy measured at the surface reached 25 m (lagoon average depth). {M}axima of phytoplankton and phytobenthos productions occured at low depths; there was therefore no photoinhibition of photosynthesis. {C}orrelations between light energy and primary production were strong, especially for phytobenthos. {M}ultiplicative linear regression models (production #vs$ light) associated with an exponential linear regression model (light #vs$ depth), allowed planktonic and benthic primary production to be predicted from the depth and the light energy received at the surface},
