Why cannot fish survive outside the water?
There is not enough Oxygen in the air for the fish to breath. Water has just the right amount of air (O2) that the fish need and in the right proportions. Fish breath in water with gills. Water is capable to holding within it a very large amount of Oxygen. So it is super-concentrated. But the O2 in our air is far less concentrated then in water, so the fish try to gulp the air through and into their gills, but the gills cannot easily find or absorb the O2 from the regular, unpressurized air.

All fish breath through their gills, there is oxygen in water, as such, they take the oxygen through their gills.

What do fish use their gills for?
Because they are underwater. They have to get oxygen that is dissolved in the water instead of that available in the air. Fish have an air bladder which controls their buoyancy. Some fish can use it as a lung. When they swim in the water they use their gills. When they are on land, they use their lung.
