That website only displays overall percentage catch chance, day AND night, built by averaging out submissions from fishers.

To present an exaggerated case to illustrate my point, suppose you had a fishing hole with only two fish, one available all the time (Silver Sovereign) and one only available during day (Mahi-Mahi). If you fish at night, your catch rate of SS is 100%. If you fish during the day, you catch 50% SS and 50% MM. If you looked up the Silver Sovereign on ff14angler.com, it would list the catch rate of SS as 75%, the average overall catch rate. Smart fishers, though, would fish only at night, since it brings their catch rate of SS to 100%.

Bottom line, unless you need/want Mahi-Mahi, it's a better idea to fish for Silver Sovereigns only at night, as the addition of Mahi-Mahi to the pool very likely impacts the likelihood of hooking a Silver Sovereign (even if not by much).
