To quantify carbon flow pathways and assess if changes in harvesting intensity and climate variability have affected the BS ecosystem, we modeled the ecosystem for the period 1950\u20132013 using a highly trophically resolved mass-balanced food web model (Ecopath with Ecosim). Ecosim models were fitted to time series of biomasses and catches, and were forced by environmental variables and fisheries mortality. The effects on ecosystem dynamics by the drivers fishing mortality, primary production proxies related to open-water area and capelin-larvae mortality proxy, were evaluated. During the period 1970\u20131990, the ecosystem was in a phase of overexploitation with low top-predators\u2019 biomasses and some trophic cascade effects and increases in prey stocks. Despite heavy exploitation of some groups, the basic ecosystem structure seems to have been preserved. After 1990, when the harvesting pressure was relaxed, most exploited boreal groups recovered with increased biomass, well-captured by the fitted Ecosim model. These biomass increases were likely driven by an increase in primary production resulting from warming and a decrease in ice-coverage. During the warm period that started about 1995, some unexploited Arctic groups decreased whereas krill and jellyfish groups increased. Only the latter trend was successfully predicted by the Ecosim model. The krill flow pathway was identified as especially important as it supplied both medium and high trophic level compartments, and this pathway became even more important after ca. 2000. The modeling results revealed complex interplay between fishery and variability of lower trophic level groups that differs between the boreal and arctic functional groups and has importance for ecosystem management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmars.2021.732637","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,17]],"date-time":"2021-09-17T05:53:22Z","timestamp":1631858002000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Overexploitation, Recovery, and Warming of the Barents Sea Ecosystem During 1950\u20132013"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Torstein","family":"Pedersen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Nina","family":"Mikkelsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ulf","family":"Lindstr\u00f8m","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Paul E.","family":"Renaud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Marcela C.","family":"Nascimento","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Marie-Anne","family":"Blanchet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ingrid H.","family":"Ellingsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Lis L.","family":"J\u00f8rgensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Hugues","family":"Blanchet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2342","DOI":"10.1093\/icesjms\/fsx221","article-title":"Contribution of Calanus species to the mesozooplankton biomass in the Barents Sea.","volume":"75","author":"Aarflot","year":"2017","journal-title":"ICES J.
