AI phenotyping company, Aquaticode, the AI phenotyping company, appointed Therese Log Bergjord as strategic advisor.
As former CEO of Skretting, she led the world’s largest aquafeed company through a period of international growth and sustainability leadership. Today, she serves on the boards of Kverva, Nordic Aqua Partners, and other major players shaping the future of seafood.
Her appointment comes as artificial intelligence is reshaping industry practices, and as Aquaticode accelerates its role in this shift. With the growing adoption of AI phenotyping in hatcheries, the timing reflects both industry momentum and strategic intent. The company recently announced new commercial agreements covering over 60 million fish to be scanned using Aquaticode technology.
“AI is finally delivering real value in aquaculture,” said Log Bergjord. “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, uses 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. The system is built on patented technology that enables high-speed, non-invasive assessment of fish health and quality. This allows hatcheries to group fish more effectively from the start, improving welfare, performance, and long-term outcomes.
“Sorting by size is like picking players based on height,” said CEO Stian Rognlid. “We help hatcheries pick based on potential instead.”
“Therese’s involvement sends a clear signal: the industry’s most experienced leaders are betting on AI phenotyping as the next critical capability for sustainable aquaculture,” the company said. With several major deployments underway and new use cases on the horizon, Aquaticode is entering 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,” said Rognlid.
