Which risk increases when a fish expends additional energy for buoyancy during rapid ascent?

💡 Explanation

Rapid ascent causes swim bladder overexpansion because Boyle's Law dictates decreasing pressure increases the swim bladder volume; therefore swim bladder ruptures (barotrauma) result, rather than increased gill mucus or spinal injury, which depend on other mechanisms.
