Conservation: Metriaclima lundoense n\'est pas évalué par l\'Union Internationale pour la Conservation de la Nature dans la Liste rouge des espèces menacées. Although M. lundoense has been collected for the hobby it is rather common around Lundo Island and unlikely to be threatened in the near future by overfishing. Local fishermen do not yet target this or other mbuna which could become a possible threat in the future.
