If a fish comes out of the water… how long can it survive?
5 seconds? 30 seconds? Or maybe a few minutes?
Most common fish species can survive from about 30 seconds up to 1–2 minutes after leaving the water.
This is because their gills only work properly in water; in the air, they dry out quickly and stop functioning.
As a result, ordinary fish cannot take in oxygen from the air and they suffocate very quickly.
The warmer and drier the air is, the faster the fish will die.
In cooler and more humid conditions, they may survive a little longer.
So for normal fish, being out of the water is quite dangerous.
