Fish have gills instead of lungs. In order to get as much oxygen as possible from the water, the gill must have a large and exposed surface area. Terrestrial animals have lungs, which are not directly exposed to air, and the body can sufficiently replenish any moisture lost from exhaling.
The animal world is basically divided into two groups when it comes to breathing:
And just as lungs can't get oxygen from water, gills can't get oxygen from air.
Fishes die when they are taken out of water because just like how we suffocate in water when we drown fishes also suffocate in the air. The reason for this is that the gills i.e. their lungs, are stacked on top of each other which is known as the gill stacks. Without water the gill stacks all stick together preventing oxygen from entering. In addition the gills don't have a large enough surface area to get the amount of oxygen it needs to survive.
Fish need oxygen to live, just like humans. But while humans use their lungs to take in oxygen from the air, fish are designed to take oxygen from water. The water passes through a fish's mouth and over a set of gills, which absorb oxygen. Without lungs, a fish out of water is a fish without oxygen.
The gills become very close and oxygen doesn't get in.
There is a gap between the gills only when in water.
It is so because fish doesn't have lungs rather they have gills which use oxygen which are dissolved in water not in those oxygen which are dissolved in air.

It will die as faster than the usual time taken for it to die if it had a permanent supply of water.-Kayla.
High nitrate levels in the water cause an increase in algal growth with reduces the amount of oxygen in the water, which in turn cause the fish to die.
it might be better than nothing but the salt in sea water would make you even thirstier and you could die becauce the fluids are taken out of your body
Water is taken in and utilized by plants for photosynthesis.
hummans are not ment to live in water and fish are not ment to live on land
fish die when taken out of the water because they have gills and fish absorb oxygen from the water and when the fish are taken out they die because of them .
they cannot breathe out of water.
it depends how long it stays out
Fish, like us, need oxygen to live. However they have gills to taken oxygen from water, whereas we have lungs to take oxygen from the air. Therefore, when fish get taken out of the water, as they don't have lungs they have no way to take in oxygen, so they die.
a clown fish will die because it is a ocean fish and with out salt water , it will die in fresh water.
Fish do not breath air, they do not have lungs like humans or most other land animals.They use gills to take oxygen from water.If you take a fish out of the water it will suffocate and die from oxygen starvation.
Most salt water fish will die if placed in fresh water.
Will die
Yes it/they can. Care should be taken to let the temperature of the water the fish is/are in slowly equalise with the water in the pond before releasing the fish otherwise it/they may die from temperature shock. I used to place a bucket containing the fish in its/their original water beside the pond and slowly replace a cupfull of water at a time over about 30 mins or so before releasing the fish into its new home.
Fish have gills and they absorb the water of the sea, ocean or anyplace with water. It's just like air. Without air we would die. Without water fish would die.
water temperature can “shock” the fish and even cause them to die! The water PH and hardness are also critical; the sudden drastic change in either of them can cause fish to die. Gold fish Who's Is Die quickly
Fish are not immortal, so they can in fact die anywhere.
