May be harvested with other reef flat species, such as Bohadschia similis and Holothuria scabra, when they occur together, but the sticky Cuvierian tubules make the collection and processing disagreeable. Collected by hand at low tide, or by divers. Processed product is not distinguished from those of other Bohadschia species and is of little commercial value.
