the swim bladder deflates as it goes deeper and the fish releases the gasses formerly held there. Explanation :try sitting down at the bottom of the shallow end of a pool with a full breath of air. Hard right? that's because the oxygen in your lungs is keeping you afloat. If you try again with little or no air in your lungs , it should be no problem. This is similar to the way a fish releases gases in the swim bladder to go deeper in the water.

As a fish swims deeper into the ocean the pressure on its body?

As a fish swims deeper into the ocean, the pressure on its body increases due to the weight of the water above it. This hydrostatic pressure can affect the fish's physiology, including its buoyancy and gas-filled organs, such as the swim bladder. Many deep-sea fish have adapted to these extreme conditions through specialized structures that allow them to withstand high pressure without being crushed. Consequently, their bodies may be more flexible and less rigid than those of fish living in shallower waters.
