CORVINA GRUNNIENS
Members of the Sciaenidae family (drum and croaker), corvina inhabit the Pacific
Ocean and are known for the noises they make. These fish are often called corbina,
as well as corvina, and both words appear in the Spanish and the Portuguese
languages for common names applied to various drum and croaker.
They are typically referred to as croaker by some anglers and as weakfish by
others, and they inhabit tropical and temperate seas. Almost all are inshore bottom-
feeding fish, usually found over sandy bottoms, either in schools or in small groups.
Corvina primarily inhabit the Gulf of California and waters south of the gulf; they
are likely to inhabit the surf line and to hug the near shoreline, feeding on
crustaceans, worms, and small fish.
