Habitats of this species have been severely altered by the construction of hydroelectric power plants, destroying the former Santo Antônio and Jirau rapids and transforming more than 200 km of the rio Madeira, enlarging the riverbed and reducing the current (Ref. 104707).

Status of threat: should be classifiedas Least Concern (LC) (Ref. 104707).
