No, i think it's about a fucking big shark. The name would suggest so, as would the lines "Sensing the blood of prey" and "rolling over, falling into jaws". I think it's about the shark, but also how it could be linked with mythology. That it feeds on mermaids, or how it naturally linked to a mermaid, or a mermaid can transform into one. Actually, that would make sense, that the mermaid pures sailors towards her, then turns into a bastard big shark, which would explain the line "hideous creation, human and animal".
