  abstract = {{A}n end-to-end model named {OSMOSE}-{G}o{L} has been built for the {G}ulf of {L}ions, the main {F}rench {M}editerranean fishing area. {T}his spatialized dynamic model links the coupled hydrodynamic and biogeochemical model {E}co3-{MS}/{SYMPHONIE} ({LTL} - low trophic level model) to {OSMOSE} ({HTL} - high trophic level model). {I}t includes 15 compartments of living organisms, five from the {LTL} model (ie. nanophytoplankton, microphytoplankton, nanozooplankton, microzooplankton and mesozooplankton) and ten from the {HTL} model (northern krill, southern shortfin squid, {E}uropean pilchard, {E}uropean anchovy, {E}uropean sprat, {A}tlantic horse mackerel, {A}tlantic mackerel, blue whiting, {E}uropean hake and {A}tlantic bluefin tuna). {W}ith the exception of northern krill and {E}uropean sprat, all {HTL} species are commercially exploited and undergo fisheries mortality pressure. {T}he modeled species represent more than 70% of annual catches in this area. {T}his paper presents the parameterization, calibration and evaluation of this model with satellite data for phytoplankton and with biomass, landings, diet and trophic level data for {HTL} groups. {F}or most species, the diets in output of {OSMOSE}-{G}o{L} are similar to field and literature data in terms of dominant prey groups and species. {H}owever, some differences were observed. {V}arious reasons may explain the mismatch between the modeled diet and field data. {B}enthic prey sometimes observed in the stomach content of the {HTL} predators were not modeled in {OSMOSE}-{G}o{L}. {F}ield studies were carried out at specific periods and locations, while our data concern the period 2001-2004 and the entire modeled domain. {I}nter- and intra-annual variations in spatial distribution and density of prey may also explain these differences. {T}he model estimates trophic level values similar to those cited in the literature for all the {HTL} compartments. {T}hese values are also close to the trophic levels estimated by a previous {E}copath model for the same area and period. {E}ven though some improvements are still possible, this model may already be of use to explore fishery or {M}arine {P}rotected {A}reas scenarios for socio-ecosystem management issues.},
