Why do fish turn over when they stop swimming?

Fish rely on their swim bladder to adjust their buoyancy and maintain their position in the water column. When fish stop swimming, the swim bladder may not be filled with enough gas to keep them upright, causing them to turn over. Additionally, some fish species have a natural tendency to rest on their sides or even upside down when they are not actively swimming.
