Detailed Solution

Fishes live in an aquatic habitat, and they have a specialized organ called gills that help them in the process of breathing. Fishes have gills present on the lateral sides of their body and they take in large amounts of water in their mouth and push it through their gills so that their gills can take up the oxygen dissolved in water through the process of diffusion.

When a fish is taken out of water, it loses its ability to take up dissolved oxygen from the water. Fishes cannot diffuse oxygen from the air. Due to the lack of oxygen in their body, they cannot survive if taken out of the water for a longer period of time.

Hence, the correct option is True.
