  abstract = {{T}he larval and juvenile fish of the {C}ayenne river estuary ({F}rench {G}uiana, {S}outh {A}merica) were sampled at two stations from {J}une 1989 until {O}ctober 1990. {A} total of 52989 individuals from 59 species, some still incompletely identified, were collected. {T}hree families, #{E}ngraulidae$, #{G}obiidae$ and #{S}cianidae$, accounted for over 97% of the total number of juveniles. {T}he analysis of data over this period showed low diversity, and a difference in diversity between the two sampling locations ({H}' = 1.24 and 1.68). {T}he results conform to some theoretical models of abundance that suggest a relative equilibrium of juvenile assemblages. {I}n contrast, the seasonal variations in diversity and abundance and the results of a correspondence analysis showed significant differences in species distribution and in their relative abundance at the two sampling locations at certain periods, mainly in the rainy season. {O}ur study indicates that, in spite of an apparent stability, the year to year variation in salinity and freshwater inputs could affect juvenile recruitment of some species and induces modifications in the composition of larval and juvenile estuarine fish assemblages.
