Which risk significantly increases for marine mammals experiencing rapid ascent from deep dives due to nitrogen solubility dynamics?

💡 Explanation

During deep dives, increased pressure causes more nitrogen to dissolve in the tissues of marine mammals, and rapid ascent overwhelms the gas exchange process, leading to nitrogen bubble formation. Therefore decompression sickness is more likely, rather than hypothermia, asphyxia, or fatigue which arise from different physiological stress mechanisms.
