Which outcome occurs when gas gland carbonic anhydrase inhibitors interfere with rete mirabile?

A)Swim bladder less buoyant, sinks
B)Increased buoyancy, bladder ruptures internally
C)Enhanced hydrostatic pressure regulation occurs
D)Accelerated oxygen diffusion into plasma

💡 Explanation

A carbonic anhydrase inhibitor reduces the Bohr effect, which decreases hemoglobins oxygen affinity; therefore, less oxygen secretion into the swim bladder occurs to maintain buoyancy because rete mirabile relies on it, rather than increased diffusion to the blood.
