Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deep-diving animals rely primarily on aerobic respiration during deep dives. Anaerobic respiration produces much less ATP and can lead to the buildup of lactic acid, causing fatigue and muscle damage. Redirecting blood flow, conserving energy by gliding, binding oxygen to myoglobin and hemoglobin, and assuring that the brain has an uninterrupted supply of ATP are all mechanisms used by deep-diving animals to extend their dive times and conserve oxygen.
