lol they probably said million dollar industry in the movie. I'm not sure, as I saw it quite a while ago.

As for the part where they label dolphin meat as whale meat. I'm positive that's what they said in the movie. And it may not be because of the mercury levels. It may just be because whale meat is more popular than dolphin meat. Which is probably true.
