yes, i knonw it seems weird with them living underwater and all, but when fishermen catch them in nets, they make sure its tight and then it blocks their gills, and they drown. Or sufficate as you will call it.

Yes. Sharks can see under water. Tip: If you are ever being attacked by a shark don't move and just stay there. I know it sounds crazy but sharks can only see to the side of them and are attracted to splashing and blood. So if you try to swim you are most likely to get bitten. And after a while the shark will go away.
