Ochrona: Taeniolethrinops laticeps jest wpisany prez Międzynarodową Unię Ochrony Przyrody do Czerwonej Księgi Gatunków Zagrożonych IUCN jako (LC) Najmniejszej troski (2018). Turner (1996) reported that Taeniolethrinops laticeps was sometimes rather common in trawl catches at depths between 18 and 35 meters in the southeastern arm of the lake. SCUBA divers usually only encounter mouthbrooding females in rocky and intermediate areas and also there it is still common, so there is currently no threat to its well-being.
