  abstract = {{T}he {Y}ellow {S}ea is a marginal sea in the {N}orthwestern {P}acific where the fishery resources have been overfished and the community structure has greatly changed over the past six decades. {E}cosystem modeling approaches are valuable tools to uncover potential mechanisms behind the ecosystem changes. {H}ere, we developed '{OSMOSEYS}', an individual-based multi-species {OSMOSE} model that includes important commercial pelagic and demersal fish and invertebrates in the {Y}ellow {S}ea. {S}imulations were carried out under three fishing scenarios to investigate how different levels of fishing pressure may have impacted the {Y}ellow {S}ea ecosystem. {R}esults indicate that the biomass of demersal fish continued to decline during 1970-2014, while the biomass of pelagic fish and invertebrates fluctuated periodically. {L}ong-term fishing pressure has led to the reduction of total biomass, body sizes, and longevity of the modelled species. {U}nder low-fishing condition, the ecosystem biomass is restored and the proportion of elder and larger individuals increases. {O}n the contrary, high-fishing condition further decreases the proportion of high-trophic-level species. {OSMOSE}-{YS} serves as a baseline model to investigate ecosystem responses to different fishing strategies, in support of ecosystem-based fisheries management in the {Y}ellow {S}ea.},
