The longnose stingray is captured in artisanal gillnets and beach seines, and in commercial trawl fisheries. In the northwest Atlantic, there are no population trend estimates for this species. Artisanal fisheries are intense across much of the Southwest Atlantic, and there are largely unmanaged commercial trawl and longline fisheries in many areas. In Colombia, this species has been exploited since the 1970s and has a high commercial value, and artisanal fisheries there are widespread and unmanaged. In Venezuela, commercial and artisanal fisheries are intense, lack management, and have exhibited peaks in catches followed by declines, indicative of sequential overfishing, and this species has been noted in unmanaged gillnet fisheries there such as the one operating off Margarita Island. Longnose Stingrays are targeted heavily in artisanal beach seine fisheries in the northeast of Brazil. Fisheries are intense and largely unmanaged in eastern and southern Brazil as well. Due to the level of exploitation across its shallow inshore range, the fact that it has exhibited declines where targeted, and its large size, it is suspected that the Longnose Stingray has undergone a population reduction of 30–49% over the past three generation lengths (32 years) in Atlantic South America. Taking together the relative area of habitat in the Western Central, where this species is likely Least Concern, and Southwest Atlantic, the Longnose Stingray is suspected to have undergone an overall population reduction of 20–29% over the past three generation lengths (32 years), and it is assessed as Near Threatened (nearly meeting Vulnerable A2d).
