Humanoido at SPACE1 has developed an Aquatics Space Program (ASP), designed to introduce aquatic species to space travel.
ASP began with astronaut training of Dwarf Puffer fish and one astro tank. The program now extends to hybrid guppies and Orange Ramshorn snails with two additional larger astro tanks.
Last year (2018) Humanoido invented a voice interface for fish and tested it with Dwarf Puffer fish. The electronic opto-interface is non-invasive and species dependent. Thought now has a focus on a potential way to communicate with Ramshorn snails.
Snails are a different kind of species. They move faster than plants and slower than fish. "Snails can see, smell, taste, and touch. They see through eyes that are on their top tentacles, they smell and taste through receptors on their lower tentacles. They don't actually have ears, so they can't really hear, but they can feel vibrations with their sense of touch. Their sense of touch also includes pain and things like sensitivity to temperature. This sense of touch enables them to flee from situations that are hurting them and endangering their lives or health."
