That is a great site for referencing the different fish available in Mexico. I will say that there are many regionalized names for the more popular fish. I have not fished all of Mexico but certainly have covered a good part of the Baja Peninsula and have never heard the WSB referred to as a Corvina Blanca. Here in central Baja they are called Curvina. (of course in Spanish the V is always pronounced as a B so if the locals try to anglicize fish like Corvina, Corbina and Curvina, they are very close in pronunciation) There are regions to the north that I have heard them called Cabria Blanca. Thank for passing along the link.
