Any other information on results incl. tables

Sublethal observations / clinical signs:

At 500 mg/l the fish died prior the first examination, consequently no further investigations could be done. At the concentration 100 -350 mg/l the testing animals showed a lower activity and swimming under the water surface. Dead animals had a brighter colour.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on the results of this study the 96-hour LC50 of Brachydanio rerio was determined to be in the range of 350 - 500 mg/L.
