FAI Water Quality Study
A farmer-led approach to water quality monitoring, testing whether putting measurement directly in farmers' hands changes how farms are managed.
Aquaculture science · Since 2012
AQUAVET is an aquaculture consulting, training, research and technical support company. We specialise in fish health and nutrition — bridging the gap between practical fish farming and scientific knowledge across Egypt, Africa and the Gulf.
Who we are
We specialise in fish health and nutrition, bridging the gap between practical fish farming and scientific knowledge. Our experienced team offers expert services across aquaculture planning, development and operations.
We also provide intensive training courses and have conducted several survey-based projects, gathering valuable data to support the aquaculture sector.
To contribute to the development of the future of aquaculture businesses in order to enhance producer performance in a challenging industrial environment.
To be recognised as one of the leading companies providing aquaculture services in the Middle East and Africa.


Our solutions
Six areas of delivery — from the products that go into the water and the feed, to the consulting, training and research that make them work.
Probiotics, oxygen support and ammonia control that hold the pond environment inside a safe operating range through the whole cycle.
Trace minerals and stabilised vitamin C formulated to convert more of the ration into growth and to carry stock through predictable stress.
Preventive programmes and biosecurity plans for farms and hatcheries, with defined working concentrations rather than guesswork.
Advisory for fish feed mills and fish farmers — helping them get more from less, from feed formulation through to on-farm troubleshooting.
Intensive courses for graduates, farmers and professionals — practical and theoretical, built for local and international markets.
Survey-based projects and applied field studies that produce the evidence behind the recommendations we give.
Our expertise
Providing expert advice on aquaculture practices, nutrition, and health management.
Offering workshops and training courses for farmers, students, and professionals in aquaculture science.
Conducting research to develop innovative solutions and improve aquaculture practices.
Assisting fish farmers and feed mills with best management practices and technical guidance.
Focusing on the health and nutritional needs of aquatic species to enhance growth and productivity.
Evaluating and managing water quality standards to ensure optimal conditions for fish farming.
Designing preventive programs and biosecurity plans for fish farms and hatcheries to improve fish health.
Creating high-quality, effective products for disease treatment and water quality improvement.
Promoting sustainable aquaculture practices to enhance the industry's long-term viability.
Featured projects
A farmer-led approach to water quality monitoring, testing whether putting measurement directly in farmers' hands changes how farms are managed.
Mapping the structure and challenges of Egypt’s aquaculture value chains — from producer to consumer — across four governorates.
Egypt’s first digital tool for assessing and tracking tilapia welfare indicators on farms.
Impact
A decade of applied work with Egyptian producers, research institutions and international partners.
Technology & innovation
AQUAVET led the development and testing of the Tilapia Welfare App — Egypt’s first digital tool for assessing and tracking tilapia welfare indicators on farms. The app enabled farmers to record data, receive automated alerts, and access practical guidance.
Testing revealed a knowledge gap in interpreting the water quality drivers behind welfare outcomes — which directly shaped the FAI Water Quality Study, where farmers were equipped with full testing kits and trained to measure dissolved oxygen, pH, ammonia and temperature independently.
On-farm data recording, automated alerts and practical guidance.
Testing kits and training so farms detect problems before the fish show them.
Sustainability
Sustainability at AQUAVET is not a separate programme — it is the reason the technical work is designed the way it is.
Water quality management and treatment that keeps ponds productive with less corrective intervention.
Baseline welfare data for Egyptian tilapia systems, and the standard tools to assess it.
Assessment of agricultural runoff impacts on aquatic life, and science-based conservation recommendations.
Training that reduces dependency — farmers who can measure, interpret and decide for themselves.
