I think you can actually "fight" the Reapers for territory.

I was in my Survival world, driving the Cyclops, when I came across a Reaper directly aft of the Aurora. I put the Cyclops level to where the Reaper was swimming, made sure it noticed me, and drove straight at it (essentially playing Chicken with it). I saw a blood splash when it hit, and it started swimming around me and trying to push me above the surface. After repeating the process and smacking it in the face with the Cyclops a few times, the Reaper just swam away and didn't return to the area. I couldn't even hear the roars anymore. I tried it with another Reaper patrolling the front of the Aurora and got the same result (except that one glitched through the sea floor a lot and eventually came back).

Give it a shot - it's surely a lot safer than going after one with a survival knife and a prayer :)
