Steven Roberts is a Kenneth K. Chew Endowed Professor specializing in aquaculture and conservation physiology at the University of Washington. His work primarily focuses on the molecular aspects influencing aquaculture and natural resource conservation. He conducts extensive research on shellfish in Puget Sound, examining how environmental changes impact animal physiology at the nucleotide and organismal levels. In addition to his primary work, he studies the native and rare Olympia oyster and the potential effects of mixing wild and aquaculture stocks on overall species health. A significant part of his recent research tackles the problem of larval mortality that has affected shellfish growers in Washington State, particularly the roles of ocean acidification and emerging diseases.
