Use and Trade [top]
Use and Trade: Holthuis (1991: 201) notes that this is a relatively small species so it is unlikely to become a commercial species.
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): This species is of no commercial interest, and owing to its lack of meat is unlikely to be of future commercial interest (Holthuis 1991).
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: There are no species-specific conservation measures in place.
As this species is known from areas in which major fisheries operate, further research is needed on the possible by-catch levels.
