Guyana's President David Granger has described as a "massacre" a pirate attack last week that is feared to have killed at least a dozen fishermen.
"It is a great massacre, a great tragedy," Mr Granger said on Thursday.
Four boats carrying some 20 people were attacked off the coast of neighbouring Suriname in South America last Friday, local authorities said.
The bodies of three men have since been found. Four others were said to have escaped, Reuters news agency reported.
Some of the fishermen who remain missing were forced into the sea with weights tied to their legs, according to reports from the survivors.
The men, most of them Guyanese, were beaten and robbed.
