Which challenge arises for marine teleosts when they actively swim between water layers of varying salinity?

💡 Explanation

Changes in hydrostatic pressure during vertical swimming affect the swim bladder volume because Boyle's Law dictates that pressure increases with depth; therefore, the fish needs to regulate gas to prevent collapse rather than primarily manage salinity.
