Cambaroides dauricus has been assessed as Data Deficient. While this species appears to be relatively widespread, there is no information available on the status of the population and how it is being affected by a range of potential threats, specifically crayfish plague and exploitation. Further research on the population status, threats and distribution is needed before a more accurate assessment of conservation status can be made. 

Koba (1942) described this species as inhabiting mountain creeks though it is also known to occur in still water, such as the freshwaters of Amurskii Liman around Pronge (Birstein and Winogradow 1934, Y. Machino pers. comm. 2009). An ovigerous female of this species was collected during spring months (T. Kawai pers. comm. 2008).
