Relationship With Humans
The shark has no major importance to humans. It is not an endangered species whatsoever and cannot be utilized as a food supply. It is, however, useful when scientists are hoping to study bottom-dweller sharks or can be caught as bycatch. It also does not pose any danger to humans. In October 2011 a man was 'bitten' by a Port Jackson shark at Elwood Beach in Melbourne. The bite did not pierce the skin and the man was able to swim away while the shark was latched on to his calf.
