Etymology
eretmón (Gr. ἐρετμόν) means oar or paddle, referring to the paddle-like lower caudal-fin lobe of E. bayano; brycon is a generalized term used in generic names of many characiform fishes, derived from brýchō (Gr. βρύχω), to bite, gnash teeth or eat greedily, originally an allusion to a fully toothed maxillae.[2]
