''Ophioscion'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Sciaenidae, the drums and croakers. These fishes are found in the Western Atlantic and Eastern Pacific Oceans. Taxonomy ''Ophioscion'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1863 by the American biologist Theodore Gill when he described ''Ophioscion typicus'' from the Pacific coast of Panama. Although ''FishBase'' recognises ''Ophioscion'' as a valid genus, ''Catalog of Fishes'' treats it as a synonym of ''Stellifer''. Species ''Ophioscion'' has the following valid species: * ''Ophioscion adustus'' (Agassiz, 1831) (Croaker) * ''Ophioscion costaricensis'' Caldwell, 1958 * '' Ophioscion imiceps'' (Jordan & Gilbert, 1882) (Blinkard croaker) * ''Ophioscion panamensis'' Schultz, 1945 * ''Ophioscion punctatissimus'' Meek & Hildebrand, 1925 (Spotted croaker) * ''Ophioscion scierus'' (Jordan & Gilbert, 1884) (Point-Tuza croaker) * ''Ophioscion simulus'' Gilbert, 1898 (Snub-nosed croaker) * ''Ophioscion ...

He was the first compiler of a book on Mexican freshwater fishes. Together with his assistant, Samuel F. Hildebrand, he produced the first book on the freshwater fishes of Panama. He often collaborated with Charles H. Gilbert, and in 1884 on a collecting trip through the Ozarks, they discovered a new species, '' Etheostoma nianguae'', which only lives in the Osage River basin. Also with them on that excursion was David Starr Jordan, considered the father of modern ichthyology. After the Ozarks trip, Meek accepted the post of professor of biology and geology at Arkansas Industrial University (now the University of Arkansas).
