Which mechanism reduces swim bladder buoyancy control in deep-sea fish experiencing rapid ascent?

💡 Explanation

During rapid ascent, a reduction in hydrostatic pressure causes Boyle's Law to operate, increasing swim bladder volume because gas expands, causing over-buoyancy. Therefore expansion of bladder volume occurs, rather than alternatives, which would decrease buoyancy, counteract initial expansion, or require different physiological triggers.
