← Nature & AnimalsWhich buoyancy change results in fish when deflation events occur in high depth?
A)Increased density; easier negative buoyancy✓
B)Improved density; slower negative buoyancy
C)Constant density; neutral buoyancy maintained
D)Decreased density; increased swim bladder volume
💡 Explanation
A deflating swim bladder during rapid deep descents increases a fish's density because volume decreases faster than density increases. Therefore, buoyancy decreases, making it easier to achieve negative buoyancy, rather than maintaining the starting conditions.
