Raised on a kibbutz fish farm amongst a family of aquaculturists, Snir's life work has been dedicated to the science of raising fish sustainably. With a deep and admirable appreciation of aquaculture's societal responsibilities, Snir lead Aquafinca Honduras's efforts to implement a wide range of social programs including schooling, housing and education for company employees. He joined Australis -- the world's largest barramundi producer -- in 2011 as its US production manager.
