The underwater creatures reproduce by laying eggs. So, they never menstruate, and thus pubertal virgin females lack utility in blood magic.

This is so cool, now there can be a hijacking of the thread with at least a couple new nerdy discussions, this time about whether (1) imaginary Tritons lay eggs or are placental mammals or are some sort of aquatic marsupial, and whether (2) blood sacrificing has anything to do with menstruating.
I'll kick off the discussion with a vote for aquatic marsupial, since with twice the equipment they'll have no trouble with all that frolicking.
And I've got to go with a resounding "No" vote on the blood-sacrifice-menstruating deal, since those Aztec dudes generally just yanked the heart out and didn't generally bother with any naughty bits AFAIK.
But this brings up a (3)rd discussion point ... is there something special about humans, which makes them the only type of acceptable blood slave? Visual observation shows even Lanka demons cart around a gaggle of human blood slaves, it seems chimpanzees just don't cut it.
