Actually you can. Here's what a website said...
"Before we get carried away with visions of The Doc giving a fish mouth-to-mouth, let’s explore practical methods of fish CPR. The object is to pass oxygenated water through the gills of the fish to get him breathing again. You may try one or all of the following methods:
Hold the fish under the waterfall and keep his mouth open wide allowing water to flow through his gills.
“Swim” the fish by holding him and guiding him through the water.
Hold the fish over the bubbles of an air stone.
Though I wouldn’t try this at home, folks, one fish in particular was brought back when he got stuck to the bottom drain and the power of the pump pulled water through his gills in the opposite direction.
The best candidates for fish CPR are those who have been out of water for only a short time. A stiffened fish may require steroids depending on how long the fish has been out of water."

This is a vague question since different fish have different ways of taking in oxygen. Some breath in atmosphereic or dissolved oxygen.
It would depend greatly on the species.

You must be careful coz if the defibulator is turned up too high then you may end up with supper.

It depends on many things

no, because fish have gills, not lungs. They filter oxygen into their bloodstream through that system, so once they stop breathing, that's it......
