Cartilaginous skeletons are lighter than bone, contributing further to buoyancy in sharks.
Unlike bony fish, Pacific sleeper sharks lack a swim bladder, yet individuals exceeding 1,000 kilograms maintain buoyancy through massive oil-rich livers and low-density tissues.

In the deep sea, where pressure would collapse a gas-filled organ, this oil-based system provides stability without risk of implosion, allowing the shark to patrol depths that would crush many other large fishes.
The absence of a swim bladder removes structural vulnerability while enabling a body size comparable to small terrestrial vehicles, demonstrating how evolutionary design solves the engineering challenges of extreme depth.
