Which outcome primarily triggers swim bladder deflation in fish during rapid descent?

💡 Explanation

During rapid descent, increased pressure enhances gas solubility in blood because of Henry's Law, thus reducing swim bladder volume leading to deflation. Therefore, swim bladder volume reduction occurs, rather than acceleration, muscle action, or acidity change, which each rely on different pressure effects.
