Terapon, also known as the grunters or trumpeters is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Terapontidae, the grunters.[2]
Its deprecated junior homonym is Therapon. It was introduced 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)
