Which outcome occurs when a fish inefficiently adjusts internal swim buoyancy?

💡 Explanation

Inefficient buoyancy control demands continuous muscular effort to maintain depth due to Archimedes' principle; therefore increased hydrostatic drag occurs, causing energy reserves to deplete, rather than optimizing buoyancy, because proper swim bladder inflation facilitates stable effortless swimming.
