Aaron McNevin is WWF’s Global Network Lead for Aquaculture. He received his MS and PhD from Auburn University, Alabama, USA in Water and Aquatic Soil Chemistry.
Aaron started his career farming perchids, esocids and salmonids. In 2005, he began at WWF developing environmental and social standards for responsible aquaculture through a series of multi-stakeholder roundtables (Aquaculture Dialogues). These standards allowed for the formation of the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC).

Aaron took a hiatus from WWF to manage an undergraduate program in fisheries science and aquaculture. Through his work with WWF, Aaron’s team is developing traceability freeware such that actors in upstream reaches of supply chains can be included and is developing forensic chemistry techniques such as elemental profiling to determine country of origin
