If you don't have any cannons but still want these guys off your back for a time, simply dodge their bite attack and give them a single slash at their side with a knife. They'll immediately stop attacking and swim away from you for several minutes. I have tested this on four specimens within the Creepvine Forest and can confirm it works.

However, in situations where there are two or more Stalkers, you're still better off fleeing with a Seaglide or using a better self-defense weapon like the Propulsion or Repulsion Cannon. Or simply handing them metal or fish. Unlike sand sharks and bone sharks, these are the easiest predators to deal with in the game.
