Which outcome results when rapid ascent bursts lungfish's swim bladder?

💡 Explanation

Lungfish use a modified swim bladder for supplementary respiration; rapid ascent leads to bursting due to Boyle's Law. Gas exchange surface is damaged via diffusion, because of overexpansion, therefore oxygen delivery decreases rather than remaining constant, thereby causing both buoyancy issues and lower oxygen.
