The swim bladder allows a fish to be neutrally buoyant, so it does not have to continuously swim to keep itself from sinking to the bottom or floating to the top. All it needs to do if the water changes density is to adjust the amount of gas in the swim bladder.

∙ 11y agoA swim bladder is an organ inside a fish that is controlled with gases to allow a fish to ascend or descend as needed, similar to a helium balloon floating in the air As a fish need to go toward the surface it increases the amount of gas within the organ to increase buoyancy. To descend it releases the trapped gas. The gas found within the organs differ from species based on salinity, altitude, environmental pollutants, etc.

All fish have swim bladders. The bladder is what enables them to maintain buoyancy in the water. Without it, they would have to constantly swim up, much like birds have to fly up in the air. It is too much work to constantly swim up, so using a swim bladder, fish do not have to exert as much effort, and preserve energy.
How fishes vary the amount of gas in their swim bladder?
