保育: Cincelichthys ufermanni 被評鑑為國際自然保育聯盟瀕危物種紅皮書名單中的 (DD) 資料缺乏 (2018). Although Cincelichthys ufermanni has always been reported to be in small numbers, given the good shape of their habitats, which are found in large rivers in remote areas of Mexico and Guatemala, there is no immediate evident danger for the population of this species.
