What would happen to a deep sea fish brought rapidly to the surface? Explain your answer in light of the fact that gas pressure in the swim bladders of some deep sea fishes increase up to about 300 atmospheres. Also define an atmosphere as it relates to the oceans.

Answer:

Its gas-filled swim bladder explode.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gas-filled swim bladder of deep sea fish is explodes when brought to the surface too rapidly because in the deep sea there is high pressure on the gases that is present in its tissue so when the fish is brought to the surface too rapidly, the high pressure is removed and the gases that were compressed in the tissue of the fish in deep sea are releases to expand that causes explode of gas-filled swim bladder. There is very high pressure in the atmosphere when we go deep into the sea which put pressure on the lungs of humans and gas-filled swim bladder of fishes which decrease its volume.
