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.
