I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'fish' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.

'musician?' is the second definition.
(trumpeter is a kind of musician)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trumpeter that I've seen before include "Elephant perhaps" , "One touting own skills perhaps" , "[SOMETHING FISHY]" , "Perhaps Nellie" , "sends out signals?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
