Bigeye Sand Tiger - Human Interactions

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:

    No human being can tell what the Russians are going to do next, and I think the Japanese actions will depend much on what Russia decides to do both in Europe and the Far East—especially in Europe.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    The exercise of power is determined by thousands of interactions between the world of the powerful and that of the powerless, all the more so because these worlds are never divided by a sharp line: everyone has a small part of himself in both.
    Václav Havel (b. 1936)
