AquaGrid - AIoT Solutions forAquaculture & Marine Science
We combine AI, IoT, and data science to transform fish farming, water management, and marine research
Our Vision: We are building AI-powered tools for aquaculture today, but our vision is to create smart monitoring systems for oceans, lakes, and marine ecosystems worldwide.
Problem & Opportunity
Addressing critical issues in Pakistan's aquaculture industry with innovative technology
The Challenge
Fish farmers in Pakistan face significant challenges impacting their livelihoods:
"30–50% income loss due to preventable issues"
Based on field research with 20+ farms
Manual water testing
Time-consuming & error-prone processes that delay critical decisions
Delayed disease detection
Late identification leads to fish deaths and massive losses
Poor feeding & water management
Results in low yield and unnecessarily high operational costs
Expensive, unreliable tools
Current solutions are costly, error-prone, and not locally adapted
Our Solution
AquaGrid's integrated platform provides affordable technology to transform aquaculture:
Predictive Results
Water Quality Monitoring
Real-time monitoring of pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and ammonia levels with automated alerts
AI-Powered Analytics
Advanced machine learning algorithms for disease detection and feed optimization
Mobile Dashboard
Easy-to-use mobile app with comprehensive data visualization and remote monitoring
Smart Feeding System
Maximize growth while minimizing waste and costs with intelligent feeding recommendations
Early Disease Detection
Identify health issues before they spread using sensor data and predictive analytics
Automated Systems
IoT-enabled automation for feeding, aeration, and water management processes
Implementation Plan
Our strategic roadmap for bringing AquaGrid to fish farmers across Pakistan
Current Implementation Phase
Building Minimum Viable Product
We are currently focused on developing the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) with core features, including basic sensors and a dashboard. This phase is critical to ensure the foundational technology is robust and ready for initial deployment.
We didn't just build from a desk,
we went to the ponds.
Where We Went
Visited fish farms in Gharo, Sindh - getting hands-on experience with real farming challenges
What We Learned
Manual feeding and testing
Farmers rely heavily on traditional methods without technological assistance
High fish mortality rates
Many farmers face significant losses due to delayed disease detection
Strong interest in tech solutions
Farmers show enthusiasm but lack awareness of affordable technological options
Real Field Experience
Our team conducting on-site research and understanding farmer challenges firsthand
Pakistan's First Fish Health Dataset
Very few open-source datasets exist for fish diseases, especially for species found in Pakistan. We're changing that by building a comprehensive, localized database.
Field visits & camera monitoring
On-site data collection with advanced imaging systems
Image & video collection
Comprehensive visual database of various species and disease cases
Continuous model improvement
Regular updates as AI models learn and evolve with new data
Our Vision
We aim to build Pakistan's first localized dataset of fish health and behavior through systematic data collection, advanced monitoring systems, and continuous learning algorithms.

Transforming Aquaculture in Pakistan
AquaGrid is the first AI-powered aquaculture assistant in Pakistan, designed to address the critical challenges faced by fish farmers. Our solution combines cutting-edge sensor technology with artificial intelligence to provide real-time monitoring, automated feeding, and early disease detection.
With the global aquaculture market reaching 131 million tonnes in 2022 and projected to grow to $370.89 billion by 2029, there's never been a better time to embrace smart farming technologies that increase productivity while ensuring sustainability.
