Show WHY Fish Will FALL UPWARD THE deep sea fish are subject to a pressure pres-sure internally, by gases, and externally of over two tons to a square inch, and under this pressure they are quite solid. When these fish are brought to the surface in nets their bodies become puffy, their bones loose and their eyes start out of their heads ; very often they burst. This is because the pressure pres-sure is released. When these fish of the deep sea chase their prey or rise for some reason high above the ocean bed, the gases of their swimming bladders expand and they become light. The fish whose muscles are not strong enough to take it down deeper Into the ocean expands more and more until It rises upward to the surface and is killed, so that It really "falls upward." |
