Human Interactions
The bigeye sand tiger is caught as bycatch on longlines, gillnets, and purse seines, though aspects of its behavior may limit its susceptibility to such gear, hence the paucity of captures. This species is seldom utilized, and there is insufficient information for the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to assess its conservation status beyond Data Deficient. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) prohibits the taking of this species in United States waters.

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or interactions:
“It is characteristic of all deep human problems that they are not to be approached without some humor and some bewilderment.”
—Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
“In child rearing it would unquestionably be easier if a child were to do something because we say so. The authoritarian method does expedite things, but it does not produce independent functioning. If a child has not mastered the underlying principles of human interactions and merely conforms out of coercion or conditioning, he has no tools to use, no resources to apply in the next situation that confronts him.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
