okay this depends
if they are deep sea creatures (ergo, ‘real’ mermaids) they would have gils or not even need lungs
but from the scientifically inaccurate stories, yes apparently

I think it depends on if they have gills or not. If they don't then they're like dolphins and have to swim up to the surface to breathe air.
If they do have gills then I imagine they can only breathe underwater

They're fairytale creatures who really cares lmao
If one story wants them to only breathe with gills or such or the other way around then both are fine
