Etymology: Petrochromis: Latin, petra = stone + Greek, chromis = a fish, perhaps a perch (Ref. 45335); horii: Named in honour of M. Hori of Kyoto University, Japan; he suggested that this fish might represent an undescribed species (Ref. 95531).

Short description
Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale): 18 - 19; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 9-10; Spine anali 3; Raggi anali molli: 7 - 8. Diagnosis: Petrochromis horii differs from its congeners with no overlaps in several morphological characters: its body is deeper than that of Petrochromis macrognathus; the caudal peduncle is deeper than that of P. orthognathus; the pectoral fin is longer than that of P. macrognathus; the pelvic fin is longer than that of P. fasciolatus; the caudal fin is longer than that of P. famula, P. fasciolatus and P. orthognathus; the interorbital region is wider than that of P. macrognathus and P. orthognathus; the upper jaw protrudes more than that of P. fasciolatus and less than that of P. macrognathus, P. polyodon and P. trewavasae; the soft rays in the dorsal fin are fewer than in P. macrognathus; and the number of scales in longitudinal line is larger than in P. famula and P. orthognathus (Ref. 95531).
Usually found on rocks (Ref. 95531).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5039 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Resilienza (Ref.
120179): Alto, tempo minimo di raddoppiamento della popolazione meno di 15 mesi (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
