Which risk increases when a deep-sea fish's swim bladder ruptures during rapid ascent?

💡 Explanation

When a swim bladder ruptures, rapid depressurization occurs because the internal gas volume expands uncontrollably, leading to barotrauma in surrounding organs from the pressure difference. Therefore organ damage results, rather than other risks which stem from thermal, osmotic, or respiratory imbalances.
