Remarks: Yamakawa et al. (1986) synonymised western North Pacific specimens with E. molleri originally described from Australia based on morphological data. Genetic data reveal a distinct North Pacific clade, which will require re-examination of regional type specimens. The species is taken as bycatch in local fisheries.

Conservation status: Least Concern.
