An interesting topic:
The gas-filled swim bladder of deep sea fish is under so much pressure in the deep sea that when brought to the surface too rapidly, and therefore relieving the enormous pressure, it explodes. Maybe not an actual explosion, but it swells up to enormous sizes and can appear as a huge balloon protruding from its mouth. Some people say that parts of deep sea fish actually do explode when brought to the surface, does anybody know of any research/sources about this?
Just thought this could spark a nice conversation ;)
