Any other information on results incl. tables
At test start dark coloration occurred in all treatment groups (0.4 -10.0 mg/L) and additionally tumbling swimming at 4.5 mg/L. However after one day of exposure no behaviour abnormalities occurred from 0.4 to 2.1 mg/L. At 4.5 mg/L sub-lethal effects like distended abdomen, fish lying on side or back or food refusal occurred from day 12 onwards. Additionally at this treatment group the fish were mainly swimming at the water surface. At 10 mg/L dark coloration, tumbling during swimming, and fish lying on side or back occurred at experimental start. In the following days distended abdomen, convulsions, strong ventilation and exophthalmus came along. After 2 days one fish was found dead at this treatment group. Additional mortality occurred at day 6, 7, 8, 10, 17 and 19 so that all fish in this treatment group were dead on day 19 of the experiment (for details compare table 5). At the next lower concentration of 4.5 mg test item/L one fish died on day 23. In the following days until the end of the test a total number of 4 fish had died in this test concentration. Fish in this exposure group showed sub-lethal effects, like swimming at the surface, dark colouration, convulsions and apathy.
The mortality at 10 mg/L was statistically significant (Fisher´s Exact binominal Test, α = 0.05).
The decrease in body weight and length was statistically different from the control in the 4.5 mg test item/L treatment group (weight: Student t-test with Bonferroni adjustment, α = 0.05; length: Welch t-test with Bonferroni adjustment, α = 0.05).
The pseudo specific growth rate was calculated as follows:
W1= mean wet weight at test start
W2= wet weight at test end
t1= time (days) at test start
t2= time (days) at the second assessment time
A statistical difference in growth rate was evaluated at 4.5 mg test item/L (Dunnett’s multiple t-test, α = 0.05).
Analytical results
In the freshly prepared test media collected at day 0, 9, 19 and 21 just before introduction of the fish 85% of the nominal test concentrations were found. In the aged test media collected at day 2, 12, 21 and 23 (after 48 and 72 hours of exposure) 37% of the nominal values were determined. Thus, during the test period the fish were exposed to a geometric mean value of 56% of nominal. All reported results are related to geometric mean concentrations of the test item.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Based on the test results the 28 days no observed effect concentration (NOEC) of Methyl, 3-trifluoromethyl benzoate for Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was determined to be nominal 2.1 mg test item/L (1.2 mg test item/L mean measured). The 28 days lowest effect concentration (LOEC) was determined to be nominal 4.5 mg test item/L (2.1 mg test item/L mean measured), both values based on growth rate length and weight. The lowest lethal concentration was determined to be nominal 4.5 mg test item/L (2.1 mg test item/L; mean measured, based on sub-lethal effects).
