Conservation
Threats listed in assessment
This species is likely experiencing the same threats as Liza klunzingeri, which declined by about 40-50% over the past 10 years due to exploitation and habitat loss caused by cessation of rivers and coastal development, but few data exist as it has been historically confused with this species.
