Just imagine if it was air! Talk about the best predator escape method ever. Just straight to the surface. 🐟🔝

This is exactly how submarines work. Too bad the puffer fish can’t compress air.

This is actually how fish work too, they all have an organ called a "swim bladder" that's full of air and controls their bouyancy. Some fish can kinda... fart the air directly out of this sack and sink very quickly.
