What is the function of an air bladder?

The swim bladder is located in the body cavity and is derived from an out-pocketing of the digestive tube.
It contains gas (usually oxygen) and functions as a hydrostatic, or ballast, organ, enabling the fish to maintain its depth without floating upward or sinking.
