Which mechanism reduces oxygen diffusion limits in fish swim bladders at depth?

💡 Explanation

Countercurrent exchange raises oxygen concentration using differential blood flow at swim bladder capillaries. This benefits inflation at high pressures where limited oxygen solubility hinders diffusion, rather than Bohr effect for hemoglobin's oxygen affinity.
