 The daggernose shark poses little danger to humans due to its small size and teeth.This shark is caught in small numbers by subsistence fishers in Trinidad, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.It also comprises about one-tenth of the catch of a northern Brazil floating gillnet fishery targeting Serra Spanish mackerel ("Scomberomorus brasiliensis") and Acoupa weakfish ("Cynoscion acoupa"), which operates in estuaries during the dry season.
