The large exploration program focussed on the littoral marine fauna of New Caledonia (SNOM SMIB - LAGON) demonstrated the great diversity of ascidians and considerably increased the num ber of identified species. In addition to this program, conducted in cooperation with the MNHN, sev eral other oceanographic programs have, in turn, examined the fauna of the continental slope sur rounding New Caledonia. The results from the examination of the samples collected by divers and from dredges have been published in several papers dating from 1987 onwards by Claude and Fran~oise Monniot. These authors have described 229 littoral species and 88 deep water species from more than lOOm depth, of which numerous were new species. The collections are catalogued at the MNHN. Only two publications dating from before 1987 are known for New Caledonian ascidians: 1'. Tokioka (1961) who examined 14 species collected from the Aquarium in Noumea and from the hull of a boat; and from P. Vasseur (1967) who cites 12 species from the area surrounding Noumea. Adding one species described by Pruvot-Fol in 1929 and the deep water species noted by Millar in 1975, this gives a total of 22 species. The list of species attached shows the great diversity of genera, with all the important families being represented. The order Aplousobranchia (colonial ascidians) dominates in the littoral forms. similar to that observed in other tropical environments. Within this order, the Didemnidae are particularly difficult to identify and consequently, many rest unidentified. The order Stolidobranchia, which are majorly solitary, the Styelidea is the dominant in terms of number of species. as is the case in other paIts of the world. The knowledge to date of the fauna of Ascidicolia in the Tropical west Pacific is insufficient enough to determine if there are endemic species in New Caledonia, this is even more complicated considering the facility with which these species can be transported on boats. Around 50% of the species presently identified are found on the East Australian coast. A few of the species are found in New Zealand, for which there is little information. At present, species collection by divers is on the increase however, the lack of specialists in the field slows the identification process. The ascidians of New Caledonia are far from totally inventoried. At present. most of the collections come from the south and none from the coral walls. Many of the samples collected were either not mature or were too contracted to permit identification. Moreover, many species are too small or too cryptic and as a consequence have been ignored. The affinities of the deeper water ascidians vary as a function of their family and their types of adap tation. They are gencrally similar to the fauna from thc deep water species from temperatc systems. There is no relation between the surface water species and the deep water species, even though some of the deep watcr species can be found in depths of Icss than 100 m.
