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.
Different species breed in different areas and at different depths.
It helps so the fish can stay at different depths.....

The swim bladder is a gas-filled organ that helps fish maintain buoyancy and stabilize their position in the water column. By adjusting the amount of gas in the swim bladder, fish can rise or sink without expending much energy, allowing for efficient movement. This buoyancy control enables fish to navigate different depths and conserve energy while swimming. Additionally, it assists in maintaining balance and orientation while the fish is in motion.
swim bladder, large, thin-walled sac in some fishes that may function in several ways, e.g., as a buoyant float, a sound producer and receptor, and a respiratory organ. The swim bladder, or air bladder, is located in the dorsal portion of the body cavity and is filled with gases. When gas is added to the swim bladder, by diffusion through the blood vessels in the bladder walls, the fish becomes less dense overall; when gas is removed the fish becomes more dense. The addition and removal of gases is a mechanism by which the density of the fish can be made equal to that of the surrounding water at a given depth. The swim bladder produces sound by vibrating; these sounds are probably used in courtship. The organ also amplifies water-borne sounds and thus is an aid to hearing. In most fish the swim bladder has no connection to the digestive tract, but in some, such as the lungfish, there is a connecting tube leading to the pharynx, indicating that the organ may aid in respiration.
