    This study uses fish to overcome limitations in studying decompression sickness in air-breathing vertebrates. Findings reveal bubble formation is independent of solubility, but growth depends on gas concentration.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Marine Biology
    • Biophysics

    Background:

    • Studying decompression sickness in air-breathing vertebrates is limited by difficulties in estimating gas supersaturation.
    • Gas elimination begins upon pressure reduction, complicating bubble formation and symptom analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To overcome experimental limitations in decompression studies.
    • To investigate the roles of gas solubility and diffusivity in bubble formation and growth.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized physostomatous fish (salmonid fingerlings) for decompression studies.
    • Decompressed both fish and surrounding water to minimize gas tension gradients.
    • Parametrically varied diving gases (H2, Ne, He, N2) to separate or combine physical properties like diffusivity and solubility.

    Main Results:

    • Initial in vivo bubble formation was found to be largely independent of gas solubility.
    • The bubble growth phase demonstrated a greater dependence on gas concentration.

    Conclusions:

    • Physostomatous fish offer a viable model for studying decompression dynamics.
    • Gas concentration, rather than solubility, is a key factor in bubble growth during decompression.
