Technology should have a purpose—and for us, that means creating better outcomes for every fish.
That’s why we invented SORTpro: A solution that combines intelligent software and advanced hardware to change the way hatcheries approach fish sorting.
Launched in November 2023, SORTpro emerged from a collaborative journey of exploration, development, and commercialisation. Supported by specialists in industry, biology, AI, software, and engineering, alongside dedicated research partners and strategic advisors, we built something that had never been built before.
But what’s under the hood?
Multiple-sensor imaging for a comprehensive picture
SORTpro’s technology captures each fish’s profile from multiple angles and across various spectrums, imaging both external and internal features to collect raw health indicators far beyond the reach of the human eye.
Powerful AI that knows what to look for
SORTpro’s deep learning AI, trained on millions of data points, interprets subtle indicators, intricate patterns, and complex correlations, related to health, risks, disease, deformities, and growth performance—all instantaneously.
Robust robotics for real-time intervention
SORTpro‘s robotics enable rapid sorting of up to 10,000 fish per hour, with each component engineered for gentle, efficient handling and built to withstand harsh environments—delivering precise, reliable actions.
Software infrastructure to tie it all together
SORTpro’s software synchronizes multiple-sensor imaging, AI analysis, and robotic intervention, coordinating all moving parts into an end-to-end system. This enables real-time data flow, control, and handling at optimal speed.
And how does this first-of-a-kind system create better outcomes, one fish at the time?
By grouping fish more efficiently and ensuring that only the fish that is likely to survive to harvest is advanced in production, improving the profitability of salmon farming by over 20%.
