Well, it's a matter of opinion. I think mermaids have gills on their neck or sides, or maybe they breath air, and can hold it for hours like dolphins and whales.

like whales and dolphins they can just hold their breath for a really long time, because their lungs are on the human half of their body they cant breath underwater
