Which outcome impairs a fish's buoyant maintenance while swimming?

💡 Explanation

Insufficient gas secretion into the swim bladder reduces buoyancy because gas pressure declines, thus decreasing the upward force; therefore, the fish exerts more energy to maintain position rather than adjusting density, as buoyancy declines.
