Terapon, also known as the grunters or trumpeters is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Terapontidae, the grunters. [2]
An unjustified emendation that has appeared in the literature is Therapon. It was introduced in 1819 since "Terapon" was perceived as an incorrect rendering of the Greek word therapon. [3] In fact, the intended etymology was Greek: teras = "strange thing, monster, wonder" (cf. teratosaurus) + Greek: pontios = "marine", pertaining to the sea. [2]
Species
There are three species in the genus Terapon: [2]
- Terapon jarbua Fabricius, 1775 (Jarbua terapon)
- Terapon puta Cuvier, 1829 (Small-scaled terapon)
- Terapon theraps Cuvier, 1829 (Largescaled terapon)
