They're just common names anyways and often used interchangeably. French speaking folks call them dore.

It's not the only fish that has more than one common name; burbot, ling, ling cod, mariah, lawyer fish (aggressive bottom feeders) are all the same fish........[I]lota lota. Hopefully we don't have to start using latin names for every fish.
