GAS-FILLED ORGAN THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THE ABILITY OF A FISH TO CONTROL ITS BUOYANCY
Air bladder; Fish maw; Swimbladder; Swim bladders; Swim-bladder; Physoclistic; Pneumatic duct; Gas bladder; Physoclistous; Swimming bladder; Air-bladder
The swim bladder, gas bladder, fish maw, or air bladder is an internal gas-filled organ that contributes to the ability of many bony fish (but not cartilaginous fish) to control their buoyancy, and thus to stay at their current water depth without having to expend energy in swimming. Also, the dorsal position of the swim bladder means the center of mass is below the center of volume, allowing it to act as a stabilizing agent.
