Conclusions:

During 28 days exposure period BCF values showed less than 50 fold through 28 days’ exposure period. Therefore 28 days after the start of exposure the concentration rate was regarded to reach steady state and the test was finished.
Bioconcentration factors (BCF) of the test substance in carp were 3 to 20 fold for the 1st concentration and 25 to 31 fold for the 2nd concentration. Hence, the substance is not regarded as bioaccumulative.

Executive summary:

The study was conducted in compliance with GLP regulations and in accordance with the OECD Test Guideline No.305 "Bioconcentration : Flow-through Fish test” (before 2^nd October 2012).

10 fishes of Danio rerio (Zebra fish) were used for acute toxicity test and 100 mg/L of Tween 80 was used as solubilising agent. LC50(96hr) was defined as >31 mg/L (limit test).

115 fishes (50 fishes for each test concentration, 15 fishes for control) of Cyprinus carpio were used for the bioaccumulation test. Based on 96 hours LC50 value the tests were performed in each 0.05 mg/L (1^st concentration), 0.005mg/L (2^nd concentration) of the test substance concentration and 0.15 mg/L (1^st concentration) 0.015 mg/L (2^nd concentration) of Tween 80 was used as solubiliging agent. Analysis of fish was done on 7^th, 14^th, 21^st, 26^th and 28^th days after the start of exposure.

Average recovery rate from water was determined as 94.5 % (1^st concentration) and 94.2 % (2^nd concentration) and average recovery rate from fish was determined as 86.2 %.

Theoretical detection limit of BCF value was determined as ≧ 1 (1^st concentration) and ≧ 12 (2^nd concentration).

During 28 days exposure period BCF values showed less than 50 fold through 28 days’ exposure period. Therefore 28 days after the start of exposure the concentration rate was regarded to reach steady state and the test was finished.

Bioconcentration factors (BCF) of the test substance in carp were 3 to 20 fold for the 1^st concentration and 25 to 31 fold for the 2^nd concentration. Hence, the substance is not regarded as bioaccumulative.

115 fishes (50 fishes for each test concentration, 15 fishes for control) of Cyprinus carpio were used for the bioaccumulation test. Based on 96 hours LC 50 value the tests were performed in each 0.05 mg/L (1^st concentration), 0.005mg/L (2^nd concentration) of the test substance concentration and 0.15 mg/L (1^st concentration) 0.015 mg/L (2^nd concentration) of Tween 80 was used as solubiliging agent.

Theoretical detection limit of BCF value was determined as ≧1 (1^st concentration) and ≧12 (2^nd concentration).

During 28 days exposure period BCF values showed less than 50 fold through 28 days’ exposure period. Therefore 28 days after the start of exposure the concentration rate was regarded to reach steady state and the test was finished.

Bioconcentration factors (BCF) of the test substance in carp were 3 to 20 fold for the1^st concentration and 25 to 31 fold for the 2^nd concentration.
