Which consequence results when a fish's swim bladder is punctured during predator escape?

💡 Explanation

Puncturing the swim bladder compromises hydrostatic equilibrium regulation because Boyle's Law governs gas volume relative to depth; therefore the fish struggles to maintain neutral buoyancy, rather than have other means of efficient locomotion or buoyancy elsewhere.
