Some deepsea fish have been known to explode as they are brought to the surface how do pressure changes cause this to happen?

The gasses in the fish's body expand due to the lessening of pressure. I have brought fish up from a depth of 400 feet and they come close to exploding. They are distorted & misshapen from the rise to the surface.
