Regardless of whether you have Fish People, merfolk, shark men, or some other variation on aquatic sapients this wiki hasn't come up with yet, they all have one thing in common: they sometimes have to interact with non-aquatic species. Unfortunately, some of them only have gills and would suffocate if they tried to go to the surface unassisted. Others have issues with drying out or would be crushed by their own weight without water supporting their bodies (this is an issue for beached whales in real life). The obvious solution? They bring water along with them. The inverse of an Artificial Gill, which allows terrestrial organisms to breathe underwater. Compare Artificial Limbs and Mermaid in a Wheelchair. Contrast Fishbowl Helmet, which is for air-breathing creatures using a fishbowl-like device to breathe, and Bathtub Mermaid, where aquatic creatures are placed in a stationary container. Rarely will you see them recycle out old water to replace it with new water, or at least oxygenate it from tanks, implying that they're just breathing the same water over and over again, which would be the equivalent of a human astronaut breathing only the air contained in his helmet. |

In Aquaman, most Atlanteans cannot survive in the surface world, only the high born can. Soldiers who venture on the surface wear armors maintaining them in a watery environment. This becomes hilarious when the fight between Mera and Murk results in the former damaging the latter's suit, causing Murk's water supply to quickly drain out. Suffocating, Murk sees a toilet and quickly dives into the bowl and desperately sucks-in as much water as he can. He then sighs in relief. | |

Gill, Deb and the other captives in the dentist's fish tank in Finding Nemo use the fact that they've been put in clear baggies of water while the tank is being cleaned to make their escape to the sea. This involves bopping the baggies forward through a building and across a busy roadway. Good news: they succeed. Bad news: they have no idea how to get out of the baggies. | |

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever: The Talokani, descended from Central American natives who were transformed into something like merfolk by consuming a vibranium-rich plant, can breathe underwater but have to wear facemasks on land. Their leader, Namor, does not: his mother having been transformed while he was in utero, he can breathe in the water and on land, though he's weakened severely if he dries out. | |

In the Short Story "Argonaut", Cartar soldiers launch a surprise attack on a human mercenary company, and the humans discover that the spheres are equipped with Combat Tentacles and are invulnerable to antipersonnel laser fire due to their liquid content (kinetic weapons work fine, though). | |

It's later revealed that Jeeta can removes the helmet entirely with the "head" still inside, which is an independent fish-like creature, turning it into a literal fishbowl. The headless humanoid body is described as a nearly brainless host, with which the fish has a symbiotic relationship when on dry land. | |

In many cases in Dungeons & Dragons, aquatic races can create inverted versions of the items that function as an Artificial Gill for land-dwelling creatures. Naturally, there are plenty of spells capable of assisting aquatic dwellers as well. One instance where one item functions as both is the necklace of adaptation — it allows its user to breathe fine regardless of both its environment and the one its bearer currently inhabits (normal air, underwater, poisonous gas, hard vacuum — anything). | |

In The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episode "The Ugly Mermaid", a city of mer-people wear fishbowls filled with water to survive in air-filled environments — such as inside their own city. Which is at the bottom of the ocean! The episode also specifically points out the decrease in visual acuity for anyone wearing this setup (due to light refraction, presumably). Finally, the mer-people are terrified by King Koopa blasting a hole in the city's dome and flooding it with ocean water, despite the fact that they can only breath underwater. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: Sandy Cheeks lives in an air-filled glass dome at the bottom of the ocean and walks around Bikini Bottom in something of a space suit, inverting this trope. Whenever her friends come to visit, they wear helmets filled with water. Spongebob and Patrick actually CAN breathe in the air, but they instead need water lest they die of dehydration. At one point the characters use a glass dome filled with water to do a concert in a human stadium. |

Aquaman: Aquaman in his earlier years had a time limit on how long he could remain on dry land and had a special suit filled with water for missions on land. It ends up saving the life of Martian Manhunter in JLA: Tower of Babel. In the Sub-Diego arc a coastal portion of San Diego is struck by a massive earthquake and sinks into the sea, with a portion of the affected surviving via a mutation derived from Aquaman's DNA that changes them to waterbreathers at the cost of their ability to breathe on dry land. A city council member from the affected area, now called Sub Diego, uses a mobile suit with a water filled helmet in order to attend a briefing in hopes of separating from the land bound part of San Diego and become their own municipality. |

In the Hellboy films, psychic fish man Abe sometimes wears a water goggles and water tanks when he is out of his tank. The comics explain that this is more to keep him from drying out than to help him breathe; he has both lungs and gills. | |

In Terraria, there is a literal Fish Bowl item that the player character can wear on his head as a vanity item. If it's worn as equipment (not solely for appearances), the character will start to drown. Having the character drink a Gills Potion at the same time, though, will allow him or her to breathe normally. | |

In Star Trek: The Next Generation the Benzites are a semi-aquatic race who have a special attachment to their uniforms which blows a fine mist in the direction of their faces on a regular basis so they can continue to breathe. A Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "Apocalypse Rising", has a Klingon brag about killing a Benzite* The episode said "Benzenite", but the showrunners confirmed this to be a mistake.
