Which event disrupts buoyancy control when a deep-sea fish swims rapidly to the surface?

💡 Explanation

When a deep sea fish ascends quickly, the water pressure decreases rapidly; because Boyle's Law dictates gas volume increases inversely with pressure, the swim bladder expands, impairing buoyancy ,potentially rupturing. Therefore swim bladder overexpansion causes instability, rather than increased drag, fatigue or osmotic shock which depend on different mechanisms or environment variables.
