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.
