För nio år sedan avslöjades en miljöskandal nära Sankt Petersburg. Hönsgödsel från stora avstjälpningsplatser läckte ut i Östersjön. Trots att problemen runt den undersökta hönsfabriken har försämrats så har utsläpp av många skadliga ämnen till Östersjön minskat – tack vara moderna reningsverk.
Torskbeståndet i Östersjön har minskat drastiskt de senaste tio åren. Fiskarna är mindre och många lider av parasiter. I Vetenskapens värld beskriver forskarna situationen som en kollaps. Nu testas en ny trål som ska förhindra små torskar att fastna och undvika bifångst. Spela klippet ovan för att få reda på mer om torskens framtid.
