Notas:
- Etnográfica:
There used to be a lot of sharks around Cane Creek but the Japanese came and caught huge numbers of them, cutting off the fins and throwing the bodies back into the water. Sharks are a concern even up in the creeks such as Tursuani.
They used to use shark teeth as arrow tips (see 'kartuk kaniik siikwa').
As of 2008, additional commercial fishing of sharks and sawfish, especially for the fins for export, had further reduced their numbers (and the size of those caught, as could be determined by the size of the fins seen drying in Bluefields)) so that they were no longer as serious a concern for seagoing dories as before.
Solía haber muchos tiburones cerca de Cane Creek pero llegaron los japoneses y los capturaron en gran cantidad, les cortaban las aletas y tiraban los cuerpos de vuelta al agua. Los tiburones son una preocupación, aun en los criques de arriba como Tursuani. Se acostumbraba utilizar los dientes de tiburón para hacer puntas de flecha ('kartuk kaniik siikwa'). Desde el 2008, la presencia de otros pescadores comerciantes de aleta de tiburón y pez sierra han reducido aún más su número (y el tamaño de lo que capturan, como puede determinarse por el tamaño de las aletas que pueden verse secando en Bluefields), los tiburones ya no son un problema serio, como antes, para los marineros yendo en cayucos al mar.
