Justification
Amblyeleotris callopareia has been assessed as Data Deficient due to the lack of population and distribution data available, and uncertainty as to whether this species is being impacted by threat processes. Amblyeleotris callopareia has a symbiotic relationship with the alpheid shrimp and therefore further research into any threats that either of these species are facing should be carried out before a more accurate conservation assessment can be made.
