That is correct, for more info on this specific fish, go to El's Angling If you click around I'm sure you'll find that this is in fact the best fishing guide and the only place you'll ever need for fishing in WoW.
If you're doing the salt and fresh water fishing achievements:
12 am to 6 am : Nightfin Salmon only
6 am to 12 pm : Nightfin Snapper and Sunscale Salmon
12 pm to 6 pm : Sunscale Salmon only
6 pm to 12 am : Nightfin Snapper and Sunscale SalmonPlated armorfish appears to follow the same pattern as the Nightfun.
