[2] It becomes prominent whenever there is a change in temperature and pressure in environments, aquatic turbulence, and a disturbance in biotic metabolisms.
Gas bubbles may also form in extremities (fins), in the vascular system where they often cause embolism and in their mouth opening.
The supersaturation of nitrogen in the body tissues is causing an unbalanced gas saturation in blood vessels and organs.
[3] The main concern with this disease in particular is when it develops and transforms into air embolism, which causes severe blockades in the lung and in the blood vessels, which is especially dangerous in arteries.
This will cause nitrogen excess to be dissolved into the body tissues and the gas bubbles will eventually disappear.
