No commercial fisheries exist for lancetfishes. Their flesh is watery and gelatinous, and although edible, would prove difficult to use. They are caught as bycatch by tuna fisheries, and are seen as pests, taking bait intended for more valuable species. Anecdotal evidence suggesting they have an aphrodisiac effect is likely to be an urban myth.
