dc.descriptionThe swimbladders of fishes function primarily as buoyancy organs to maintain equilibrium at a specific water depth (Hall, 1924; Copeland, 1952b). This is achieved by secretion and absorption of gases found in the swimbladder. Most physostomous fish that live near the water surface and have access to the atmosphere gulp air (Saunders, 1953), whereas other physostomes and all physoclistic fishes secrete and absorb gases to regulate buoyancy. [...] With the exception of Wittenberg's work (1958) direct experimental investigation of inert gas "secretion" into the swimbladder of fishes has not been accomplished. In this paper the entry of several inert gases into the swimbladder of the physoclistic teleost, Lagodon rhomboi des (Linnaeus), are reported
