If the bladder is filled with gas it will expand slightly and the fish will gain size but loose some relative weight so it will rise in the water. If the opposite happens the bladder shrinks in size therefore the fish has less size for its relative weight and the fish sinks.
Fish's swim bladder affect its overall density by increase the fish's volume, therefor the fish's overall density decreases, it keeps the fish from sinking in water.
By adjusting the amount of gas in the swim bladder, a fish can change its buoyancy allowing it to move up and down in the water column. A submarine can pump water into and out of its ballast tanks to achieve the same effect.

How does a bony fish use the swim bladder?
Helps maintain Fish buoyancy ( from further down in the water or to surface) The swim bladder can fill by gulping air at the surface, this enables the fish to float or empty by loosing air from the swim bladder through a pneumatic duct (a pneumatic duct is an internal gas filled organ) connected to the oesophagus, this enables the fish to sink.
What makes bony fish float?
Fish use a swim bladder to remain buoyant.
Describe how fish float in water?
once they die,all the air bubbles in them help them float to the top!
Why do fish usually sink to the bottom of the tank?
If the fish is dead it may sink. Otherwise a fish can go anywhere in the tank by using its swim bladder. If the fish seems to be struggling to get to the surface, the fishes swim bladder is damaged and the fish should be euthanased.
