Scientists discover genetically distinct, healthier herring in the Baltic Sea, adapted to a fish diet.

These herring, found north and south of Stockholm, have higher fat content and lower dioxin levels, making them potentially healthier for human consumption. The evolution of these fish is linked to their adaptation to a fish diet in a young water body.
