Stalker / Bone Shark speed increase?

Hello.
As you all have noticed, Stalkers and Bone Sharks are so friendly so that they don't chase us with their full speed, instead they adjust their swim speed to the human's.
Very friendly.
Kidding.
I anyway think it's because we normally have no way to escape at the moment, if they swim with full speed(they can actually swim at least as fast as seamoth).
But i would like to see as soon as possible that they chase players with awesome swimming skills and speeds and eat us if we don't do anything intelligently.
As they always adjust their swim speed to ours, they aren't scary at all.

Sure it should bite you, if you don't back off...
So unless its a wanted gameplay mechanic - the speed is fine.
If they start to really hunt you all-in/full speed(which they wouldn't because humans were not ever part of their food plan), it needs to be obvious that they will do that, e.g. predator fishys are hungry at dawn/night(which btw. in reality sharks don't do, they hunt and eat whenever possible) or they start to circle you for some time before attacking, so you get time to give them some fish/or leave in your seamoth or whatever.
They don't need speed, they're obnoxious all on their own as it is. Stalkers already venture out of the kelp forests regularly and getting bitten is routine, especially in the beds where they'll chase you all the way to the surface to nip your ankles off. About the best I can do is juke a lone stalker or feed it. Bonesharks won't give up, even if you're in the seamoth or pod.
