Aquaticode Welcomes Former Skretting CEO as Advisor

Aquaticode, a pioneering artificial intelligence (AI) phenotyping firm in the aquaculture sector, has announced the appointment of Therese Log Bergjord as an advisor. Log Bergjord, a respected leader in global aquaculture, brings extensive experience from her tenure as the CEO of Skretting, the world’s largest aquafeed company, where she spearheaded international growth and sustainability initiatives.

Log Bergjord currently serves on the boards of Kverva, Nordic Aqua Partners, and other major players shaping the future of the seafood industry. Her involvement with Aquaticode comes at a crucial time as AI phenotyping is transforming industry practices. The company has recently secured new commercial agreements covering over 60 million fish to be scanned using Aquaticode technology.

"AI is finally delivering real value in aquaculture," Log Bergjord stated in a press release. "Aquaticode’s approach is precise, scalable, and grounded in biology. It’s not just smart tech—it’s good farming."

Aquaticode’s flagship product, SORTpro, leverages multi-angle and multi-spectrum imaging, deep learning, and real-time robotics to sort juvenile fish based on phenotype traits such as gender, deformities, damages, and signs of disease. This system enables high-speed, non-invasive assessment of fish health and quality, allowing hatcheries to group fish more effectively from the start, which improves welfare, performance, and long-term outcomes.

"Sorting by size is like picking players based on height. We help hatcheries pick based on potential instead," said Stian Rognlid, CEO of Aquaticode. The company’s technology is built on patented methods that ensure accurate and efficient sorting, enhancing the overall health and quality of the fish.

Log Bergjord’s appointment sends a clear signal that the industry’s most experienced leaders are betting on AI phenotyping as a critical capability for sustainable aquaculture. With several major deployments underway and new use cases on the horizon, Aquaticode is poised for a new phase of commercial growth.

"Therese brings sharp strategic insight, a deep understanding of biology and business, and a global perspective. We’re proud to have her in our corner," Rognlid added.

As AI continues to reshape industry practices, Aquaticode’s innovative approach is setting new standards for sustainable and efficient aquaculture. With Log Bergjord’s guidance, the company is well-positioned to lead the way in this transformative era.
