  abstract = {{T}he {O}bject-oriented {S}imulator of {M}arine eco{S}ystem {E}xploitation ({OSMOSE}) is one of the end-to-end models developed for ecosystem dynamic simulation and management strategy evaluation ({MSE}) in support of ecosystem-based fishery management ({EBFM}). {H}owever, the implementation of such integrated models has been limited due to lack of data, and their performance in advising fisheries management has been rarely evaluated. {W}e developed an end-to-end model ({OSMOSE}-{JZB}) representing organisms of high and low trophic levels in the {J}iaozhou {B}ay, a temperate bay in {C}hina with limited available data. {W}e evaluated the performance of the model for simulating the ecosystem dynamics by comparing the model-predicted species biomass, size structure, trophic level, and mortality with relevant data derived from scientific surveys and literature. {I}n general, the model-predicted species biomass and size ranges were consistent with observations. {H}owever, the size structure of the two dominant fish species showed some discrepancies between the model simulations and observations. {T}he predicted mean trophic levels from {OSMOSE}-{JZB} were closer to the values derived from an {E}copath model of the same region, compared to the values derived from empirical isotope analysis. {T}he model's output suggested that predation mortality appeared to be the main source of mortality for younger individuals compared to starvation and fishing mortality. {T}his study suggests that the {OSMOSE}-{JZB} performs well under a data-poor situation and can be considered as a baseline ecosystem model for developing {EBFM}.},
