Although I figured it was an April fools joke I can't believe I read the whole thing and clicked on the footage. I actually think I might be dumber now from having read that.LOL

Actually - it is an April's Fools Joke.

If you read which shark - they are talking about sending up into space - then you'll realize just how false it is.

I was gonna say.... ther only problem is addressing gas exchange in a zero gravity environment. We can inject O2, but there is no way to pull CO2 out yet, which means we can't keep water chemistry stable at zero gravity.....yet.

Hmm...interesting, because they have already sent fish into space.

But they were anabatoids, that is the only fish to my knowledge that has gone, and that would make sense.
