(2021) Barents Sea Ecosim model, time series with environmental drivers and biomass and catch data to compare with simulation output values are needed. This data set give an overview of time series that can be used to run simulations using the Ecosim model for the period 2000-2100. The Pedersen et al. (2021) Ecopath with Ecosim model have 108 functional groups and time series for biomass, relative biomass, catches, fishing mortality and environmental drivers (temperature, primary production, biomass forcing of some functional groups) are reviewed and listed in the time serie data files. These time series can be used to run future scenarios. There are three files with complete sets of time series for three alternative fishing mortality level scenarios; low fishing mortality, business as usual and high fishing mortality. There are also three alternative environmental drivers corresponding to the temperature time series for the RCP 2.6, RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios from Bentley et al. (2017) and these are given as variables in each of the three time serie data sets. These data were compiled as part of the Nansen Legacy project.2000-01-012100-01-01NorwayRussian FederationBarents Sea Large Marine EcosystemBarents Sea Large Marine Ecosystemmarine ecosystem12686783field dataassessment model outputData sources for the data are given in the files Source_groups.txt and List_sources.txtReferences to the sources are given in List_sources.txt<a href="http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0">CC0 1.0</a>Pedersen, T., N.
