Crossword Genius

Always at the front, mogul, as kind of big fish (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mako

'big fish' is the definition.
(type of shark)

'always at the front mogul as kind of' is the wordplay.
'always at the front' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'mogul as kind of' is 'MAKO'.

(Other definitions for mako that I've seen before include "Shark" , "NZ tree" .)
