Abstract
 This report documents the size and age information collected for southern blue whiting (SBW) in the 2024–25 fishing year from the Campbell Rise and Bounty Platform. These data add to the time series produced for the previous fishing years. For Campbell Rise, a previously strong year class corresponding to fish born in 2015 has weakened, with catch now dominated by young fish born in 2020 and 2021. For Bounty Platform two strong year classes continued to be observed, corresponding to fish born in 2012 and 2018.
