Yes, that's what think also.
A couple of decades ago that rumor was going around
alot. Along with Mako shark steaks being sold mislabeled
as Swordfish.
I tend to suspect both rumors may have been true but no longer apply. In the
case of Mako shark, it has become recognized as a tasy fish and is now sold
with it's correct name.
