← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when a fish's swim bladder is punctured during predator escape?
A)Increased buoyancy at greater depths
B)Decreased drag during rapid acceleration
C)Compromised hydrostatic equilibrium regulation✓
D)Enhanced oxygen extraction efficiency
💡 Explanation
Puncturing the swim bladder compromises hydrostatic equilibrium regulation because Boyle's Law governs gas volume relative to depth; therefore the fish struggles to maintain neutral buoyancy, rather than have other means of efficient locomotion or buoyancy elsewhere.
