Ragged tooth sharks have been consumed for their meat, fins, liver oil and skin. They are not only caught in fishing nets, but also anti-shark nets at beaches. The population of ragged tooth sharks has declined by about 20% in the recent decade. Due to their slow growth, late sexual maturity and low fecundity, population recovery is very slow. If the fishing pressure continues, the consequence could be irreversible.
