Best Answer

A fish controls its depth by increasing or decreasing the amount of air in its swim bladder.

When a fish has more air in the swim bladder, it is more bouyant and rises to the surface ,but when it lets out the air and the swim bladder fills with water, it becomes less bouyant so the fish sinks.
