Abstract
 This report documents the age and length frequency data collected for southern blue whiting (SBW) in 2025 from the Campbell Rise and Bounty Platform. These data add to the time series produced for the previous fishing years using the same methods. For Campbell Rise, a previously strong year class corresponding to fish born in 2015 represented only a minor component of catch in 2025, with catch dominated by fish born in 2020. For Bounty Platform two strong year classes continued to be observed, corresponding to fish born in 2012 and 2018.
