- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The mortalities were plotted against each test concentration (geometric mean measured) and control for each exposure period (24h, 48h, 72h and 96h). The 24 hours LC50 was calculated using the method of Linear Interpolation; and the 48, 72 and 96 hours LC50 with 95% confidence limits were calculated using the method of Spearman-Karber. The data analysis was carried out with software TOXCALCToxicity Data Analysis Software (v5.0.32).
- Sublethal observations / clinical signs:
Measured Concentrations
Based on the results of the range-finding test, five treatment groups and one control group were included in the definitive test. The concentrations of the treatment groups were 1.0%, 1.8%, 3.2%, 5.6% and 10% of the stock solution (the geometric mean measured concentration of the stock solution was 4.52mg/L during the period of the test). The measured concentrations of the test substance for all the treatment groups were below the limit of detection (LOD = 0.540mg/L) and therefore, the concentration of the test substance for each treatment was estimated from the concentration in the stock solution, i.e., 0.0452mg/L, 0.0814mg/L, 0.145mg/L, 0.253mg/L and 0.452mg/L, respectively.
Mortality
The maximum concentration causing no mortality and the minimum concentration causing 100 percent mortality within the period of the test was 1.8% stock solution (estimated: 0.0814mg/L) and 10% stock solution (estimated: 0.452mg/L), respectively (see below table). There were no mortalities or abnormalities observed in fish of the control group during the test

The 96h-LC50 for Gobiocypris rarus exposed to the test item was estimated to be 0.192mg/L (95% confidence limits: 0.155 – 0.237mg/L) based on the concentrations in test solutions estimated from the concentration in stock solution. Considering the uncertainties about the stability of the test substance in test solutions, the 96h-LC50 for the test item to Gobiocypris rarus is reported as ≤ 0.192 mg/L.
Acceptability of the Test
1. No mortality was observed in the control during the test.
2. The dissolved oxygen concentrations in test solutions were between 80.9%- 93.5% ASV, which was greater than 60.0%of the air saturation value, throughout the test.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the test, the 96h-LC50 for Gobiocypris rarus exposed to the test item was estimated to be 0.192 mg/L (95% confidence interval between 0.155 and 0.237 mg/L) based on measured concentrations in the stock solution. Considering the uncertainties about the stability of the test item in test solutions, the 96h-LC50 for Gobiocypris rarus exposed to the test item is reported as ≤ 0.192 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test item to the freshwater fish Gobiocypris rarus was investigated in a GLP-compliant study performed in accordance with OECD Guidelines No. 203. Under the conditions of the test, the 96h-LC50 for Gobiocypris rarus exposed to the test item was estimated to be 0.192 mg/L (95% confidence interval between 0.155 and 0.237 mg/L) based on measured concentrations in the stock solution. Considering the uncertainties about the stability of the test item in test solutions, the 96h-LC50 for Gobiocypris rarus exposed to the test item is reported as ≤ 0.192 mg/L.

Description of key information
The acute toxicity of the test item to the freshwater fish Gobiocypris rarus was investigated in a GLP-compliant study performed in accordance with OECD Guidelines No. 203. Under the conditions of the test, the 96h-LC50 for Gobiocypris rarus exposed to the test item was estimated to be 0.192 mg/L (95% confidence interval between 0.155 and 0.237 mg/L) based on measured concentrations in the stock solution. Considering the uncertainties about the stability of the test item in test solutions, the 96h-LC50 for Gobiocypris rarus exposed to the test item was reported as ≤ 0.192 mg/L. Alternatively, the 96h-LC50 could also have been reported as < LOD/2, i.e.< 0.270 mg/L.
As it was not possible to determine with precision the 96h-LC50 for fish, a safety factor of 10 is applied, for the assessment, to the estimated value of 0.192 mg/L, which means that a 96h-LC50 value of 0.0192 mg/L was used, as a worst-case, for environmental hazard assessment.
