nine and a half: The Sea without Fish - Will our oceans soon be empty?

The Sea is the biggest food source of the world, hence so many different species of fishes and other sea animals live there. But more and more species are overfished excessively. That means, too many fishes were recovered – their population is not able to grow again. Therefor Malin wants to figure out, how many fishes still live in the Baltic Sea and why there and in the rest of the world the populations are shrinking. Which impacts the overfishing has for the oceans? If the oceans will really be empty one day? And why Malin needs a ruler? You will learn about all that in this episode of nine and a half!
