RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To study the absorption, translocation and accumulation of N, P and K on Achyranthes bidentata. METHOD: The contents of N, P and K were determined by mean of sulfuric acid-hydrogen peroxide assimilating method, vanadium-ammonium molybdate colorimetric method and flame photometric method, respectively. RESULT: The contents of N, P and K in the plant were decreasing during the growth period. The absorption rates of the three nutrients by A. Bidentata showed double-peak curves in the whole growth period, maximum absorption rate appeared in the middle ten days of October. About 8.59 kg of N, 1.36 kg of P and 7.40 kg of K were needed to produce each 100 kg root. CONCLUSION: The key nutrients absorption period is in the first ten days of September and in the middle ten days of October.

A new record species of Chaetodontidae, Heniochus diphreutes, was found by comparative analysis of the morphological characteristics in a taxonomic revision of the family Chaetodontidae in China. It was distinguished from its relative species H. acuminatus by a combination of the following: Dorsal fin usually with 12 spines (vs. 11); 2-3 rows of teeth on both jaws (vs. 5-7); ventral profile of head convex (vs. almost straight); anal fin more angular, and black area on posterior part of anal fin usually extending anteriorly to longest soft ray (vs. more round, and usually not extending anteriorly to longest soft ray); and snout shorter than eye (vs. longer).
