 Relatively common, the green lanternshark is caught infrequently as bycatch in deepwater fisheries, but has no commercial value because of its small size.The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed it as of Least Concern, as at present it appears to face no substantial threats.However, like many other deep-sea sharks, there is a paucity of information on this species, and vigilance is warranted regarding expanding fisheries within its range.
