Abstract
This report summarises pāua shell length information collected by sampling the commercial catch from areas PAU 2, PAU 3A, PAU 3B, PAU 4, PAU 5A, PAU 5B, PAU 5D and PAU 7 during the 2024–25 fishing year.

Over the 2024–25 season the length frequency distributions from PAU 3A, PAU 4, PAU 5A, PAU 5B, PAU 5D showed that there has been a decrease in the overall length of pāua measured live on the SciElex boards while PAU 3B and PAU 7 showed an increase.

At the start of the following season, 2025–26, the Minister imposed a TACC reduction of 10% in PAU 2 and a 40% reduction in PAU 5A.
