Buoyancy Adaptation

Buoyancy Adaptation is a biological mechanism in deep-sea organisms that enables neutral buoyancy through structural or physiological modifications, such as reduced skeletal density or increased lipid content, distinguishing it from other deep-sea adaptations by specifically counteracting hydrostatic pressure and gravitational forces to minimize energy expenditure during vertical positioning.
