This article says they decided to not publicize the products or retailers. http://www.mis-asia.com/news/articles/one-sixth-of-food-products-are-mislabeled-research

Here are a couple more articles I found on the subject.

My favorite sushi restaurant in Houston was busted for using cheap fish substitutes...I had no idea.

This study was done by two high school kids.

You can't believe every single thing you read.

Yeah, my guess is that most "wild caught" salmon is actually farmed.

Yeah, my guess is that most "wild caught" salmon is actually farmed.

I worked part time at a retail seafood outfit. We were told that the wild caught like Coho and Sockeye were boney and never frozen.
The farmed were frozen and contained fewer bones.
The customers were very picky, this was a very upscale store.
We got our stuff from suppliers and vendors and really had to take their word.
