  abstract = {{F}inal conclusions are given to the study of discoloured waters as they can be observed with the {NIMBUS}-7 coastal zone colour scanner ({CZCS}) in the oligotrophic waters of the {S}outhwestern {T}ropical {P}acific, in the {M}elanesian archipelago, around {N}ew {C}aledonia, {V}anuatu (and {T}onga). {A}n attempt was made to define, in the four {CZCS} channels, the reflectance properties of these blooms attributed to #{T}richodesmium$, a nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium commonly found in that region. {T}he capacity and limitations of the {CZCS} sensor used in the past as well as the {SPOT} imager are discussed in this respect. {T}he usefulness of past and future ocean colour satellites in identifying zones of high chlorophyll concentration and bright linear patterns is demonstrated.
