Conservation: Crenicichla cametana is evaluated by the international union for the conservation of nature in the iucn red list of threatened species as (LC) least concern (2018). Although there are several hydroelectric dams implemented and in deployment in the area of distribution of Crenicichla cametana, these threats should not be sufficient to put the species in some category of threat (ICMBio, 2022).
