The importance of photosynthetic picoplankton in coral reef eco- systems is discussed with regard to various oceans with a special focus on the Pa- cific Ocean for which recent data are more abundant (Tuamotu & Fiji). Picoplankton dominates the phytoplankton biomass of coral reef waters and Synechococcus, a small coccoid cyanobacterium, is the most important organism (abundance and biomass). The picoplankton is actively grazed by the coral reef community, and this capture of allochthonous particles has to be taken into account to estimate coral reef new production. In the future, special attention has to be paid to small nitrogen-fixing unicellular cyanobacteria, which can be important for allochthonous nitrogen supply and therefore have also to be taken into account for estimation of coral reef new production.
