保育: Poeciliopsis hnilickai 由国际自然保护联盟(IUCN)在濒危物种红色名录中为自然保育而进行了评估 evaluated (LC) 无危(Least Concern) (2018). Poeciliopsis hnilickaiis potentially threatened in the Mezcalapa River by anthropogenic activities including deforestation in upper portions of the basin and dam construction, however, this species appears locally abundant and there are no major threats confirmed to be impacting it directly (Matamoros, 2019).
