Default Tubercles lower stalling airspeed?

This article: http://www.thestar.com/Business/article/213475
claims that the tuburcles on the leading edge of whale fins actually
improve efficiency in fluid by lowering stall speed. I expect someone
here might have a good sense if this has any likelihood of working.
