← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a fast-moving fish experiences swim bladder over-inflation?
A)Reduced maneuverability due to buoyancy shift✓
B)Enhanced camouflage from altered pigmentation
C)Improved prey detection via sensory amplification
D)Decreased vulnerability to predation by schooling
💡 Explanation
When a fish ascends rapidly, Boyle's Law causes gas expansion in the swim bladder increasing the volume, which shifts its center of buoyancy impacting stability by increasing buoyancy too high in the body. Therefore, maneuverability reduces (answer A) , rather than camouflage, detection improvement or decreased predation, that depend related to different mechanisms.
