Ode is celebrating becoming the largest supplier of farmed cod following a year of strong biological performance and solid operational execution.

Total production has now reached 10,018 tons which, says the company, represents a decisive step forward for farmed cod in Norway.
With annual volume growth exceeding 110%, driven by increased activity and significant improvements in biological performance, Ode says it has secured the leading position in the Norwegian cod market.
It adds: “The achievement reflects a long-term strategy built on fully integrated operations, a modern and scalable organization, and strong biological control.”
Ode was previously known as Gadus but changed its name three years ago. In 2025, it accounted for approximately 65% of Norway’s total farmed cod production of 15,493 tonnes and close to 30% of the combined export volume of fresh wild-caught and farmed cod from Norway, which totalled 36,704 tonnes.
Since its establishment in 2020, the company has made consistent investments to build a leading position in farmed cod and has now expanded its role to become a central player across the entire cod category.
Farmed cod is also becoming increasingly popular with the retail trade. More than 20 leading retail chains and HoReCa (hotel, retail and catering) distributors across Europe, the United States, and Asia represent the majority of Ode’s revenues.
Growth in customer cod programmes, supported by reliable year-round supply and consistently high product quality, was a key driver of performance in 2025, it adds.
CEO Ola Kvalheim said: “Our 2025 results represent an important milestone, but they are far from the end goal. We have demonstrated that it is possible to deliver consistently high quality at scale, while achieving low feed conversion, high survival rates, and strong growth performance.
This is the result of long-term work and the dedication of a highly skilled and passionate organization. I am proud of what the Ode team has achieved together in 2025.”
