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 2023–24 fishing year.

Over the last few seasons the length frequency distributions from PAU 5A show that there has been a decrease in the overall length of pāua measured live on the SciElex boards. All other areas were typical of commercial pāua fisheries, and consistent with previous years.
