← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome reduces buoyancy control when a large physoclistous fish rapidly ascends to the surface?
A)Swim bladder overexpansion damages tissues✓
B)Increased blood oxygen exceeds the limit
C)Reduced fin effectiveness impairs movement
D)Decreased water density crushes muscles
💡 Explanation
When a physoclistous fish ascends rapidly, gas gland diffusion cannot equilibrate bladder volume rapidly, causing it to overexpand because pressure decreases, potentially rupturing the bladder. Therefore, swim bladder overexpansion damages happens, rather than increased blood O2, reduced fin effectiveness, which require different mechanisms.
