Terapon, also known as the grunters or trumpeters is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Terapontidae, the grunters.
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. In fact, the intended etymology was = "strange thing, monster, wonder" (cf. teratosaurus) + = "marine", pertaining to the sea.
