I call them pickeral because it reminds me of back home.
Walleye is to American for me 
If you wanna get picky, we could say "walleye" is wrong because the real name is Sander Vitreus.
Walleye is a name for Sand Vitreus, is it wrong? Nope, is Pickeral wrong? Nope. |
Well said.
Arguing over common names is a fools enterprise.
If you want to be correct, use the LATIN species name. It is the only correct answer.
Common names of organisms are sometimes recognized by societies, organizations and similar, for example, The American Fisheries Society attempts to formalize some of these names AFAIK.
Americans and Albertans love to call them Walleye, out east they're often called Pickeral.
But no matter where you are in the present time it is
Sander vitreus.
