How does an air bladder help a fish?
The air bladder enables 'those fish that have them' to achieve a neutral bouyance, that is they can remain motionless in one place, or they can sink or rise however they please. Fish that don't have bladders 'such as sharks' are committed to either sink or swim they don't have the added agility or added ease that comes with a bladder.Definition: Air bladder, also known as the swim bladder, is a large, thin-walled sac that may function as a buoyant float, a sound producer and receptor, and a respiratory organ. Located in the dorsal portion of the body cavity, the swim bladder allows the fish to move up and down through the water. When gas is added by diffusion through the blood vessels in the bladder walls, the fish becomes less dense overall, allowing it to rise. When gas is removed the fish becomes more dense, thus allowing the fish to descend in the water. 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.

What is the function of the swim bladder in bony fishes?
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.
What can you infer from the data about the types of interactions between mallard ducks raccoons and snapping turtles?

Save upside down fish?
Gold fish will swim upside down if they have a swim bladder infection, try feeding it fish food that sinks because, when it eats food at the top of the tank it swallows air that goes to it's swim bladder causing it to go upside down at the top or bottom of the tank. Hope I Helped :)

What are some uses of a bladder in a fish?
To urinate, if you mean the urinary bladder. If you mean the swim bladder, it is to be able to change its depth in the water. It has a way to vent air from the gills to the swim bladder, and from the swim bladder to the digestive tract. So the fish would inflate the bladder to be able to rise and deflate the bladder to go lower.
How does a fish's swim bladder make it less buoyant?
The swim bladder helps them become more or less buoyant - when a fish wishes to go down, i.e. sink, it releases gas from the bladder. When it wishes to go up, i.e. rise, it will inflate it by getting air from the surface or bubbles trapped underwater.
What is swim bladder?
This is the thing inside a fish which controls its' buoyancy (makes it go up and down) in the water.
Do black moors have swim bladders?

What is airbag in fish useful for?
A fish's 'swim bladder' can be inflated or deflated depending on if the fish wants to go up or down in the water.
What is the swim bladder used for and how does it work?
Going UpSwim bladders are located in the center of a fish's body in order to help the fish's balance and swimming ability. According to the book "Goldfish", some fancy goldfish like the lionhead are poor swimmers because their swim bladder is located too far forward. When the fish wants to go up, a pneumatic duct opens to let in oxygen to swell the bladder up like a little balloon. By gulping, the fish can help fill up the bladder. Some fish, like the rudd, have two swim bladders.Going DownWhen the fish wants to swim lower, they deflate their swim bladders. The gas is absorbed into their gas glands, which are located on either side of the swim bladder. The fish's body can also use the gas glands to help inflate the swim bladder. Fish can also expel excess gas from their mouths in something similar to a belch. Also, if fish are caught in oxygen-poor water, they can use some of the oxygen in the gas glands or swim bladder to help them breathe. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, some of fish species like sharks use oil instead of gas to inflate or deflate an area in the liver, since oil is lighter than water.Going the Wrong WayIf a fish is swimming sideways, is unable to rise to the surface or is clearly having trouble swimming, chances are it is due to swim bladder disorder. If a fish is constipated, this could press the digestive organs against the swim bladder, not allowing it to inflate properly. According to HealthyBetta.com, a fish that has swim a bladder disorder should go on a fast for a day and not be fed so much in the future. Also, splitting the feedings to two or three a day is better on the swim bladder than one large feed per day.
What happens to a fish's swim bladder as it swims deeper?
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.
What organs are involed in eliminating water from the body?
