Human Interactions
Other than possibly damaging billfishes or other valued species, the largetooth cookiecutter shark is of no import to commercial fisheries. All but one of the known specimens have been caught as bycatch in commercial trawls or longlines. However, given the infrequency of these catches and this species' probable wide distribution, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has assessed it as of Least Concern.

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or interactions:
“All things by human laws created change:
Lands to each other known, in time grow strange:
Nations in course of many years put on
A various face; but heaven wears always one.”
—Marcus Manilius (10 B.C.–A.D. 30)
“Whereas children can learn from their interactions with their parents how to get along in one sort of social hierarchy—that of the family—it is from their interactions with peers that they can best learn how to survive among equals in a wide range of social situations.”
