- Details on sampling:
- Approximately 40 mL of sample was collected from the approximate center of each test chamber at mid-depth with a class A glass pipette. The samples were placed in 40-mL amber glass vials and transferred to the analytical laboratory. One sample of each test solution was received from each replicate test chamber and the control on day 0 of the definitive study. Final samples were collected at the end of the test. All samples were analyzed on the day of collection or refrigerated prior to analysis (all samples were analyzed within 11 rather than 5 days of collection and this had no impact on the outcome of the study as mean measured concentrations ranged from 100 to 105% of nominal).

(a) = Affected fish exhibited one or more of the following effects: lethargy, loss of equilibrium, erratic swimming, immobilization, change in coloration, misshapen bodies.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The 96-hour LC50, based on mean, measured concentrations, was 2.49 mg/L, with a 95% confidence interval of 1.98 to >3.06 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test substance to unfed fingerling rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, was tested in accordance with the OECD Guideline 203; EC Method C.1; and the US EPA guideline 72-1. The study was conducted under unaerated, static conditions with five concentrations of the test substance and a dilution water control. Two replicate test chambers were used per test concentration with five fish in each chamber (total of 10 fish per concentration).
Exposure of rainbow trout to mean, measured concentrations of 0.408, 0.668, 1.13, 1.80, and 3.06 mg/L, resulted in 0% mortality at 0.408 and 0.668 mg/L, 10% mortality at 1.13 mg/L, 0% mortality at 1.80 mg/L, and 80% mortality at 3.06 mg/L at the end of 96 hours. Mean, measured concentrations ranged from 100 to 105% of the nominal concentrations. No mortality or sublethal effects were seen in any water control fish at any time. Two surviving fish exposed to 0.668 mg/L exhibited loss of equilibrium or lethargy, and all surviving fish exposed to 1.13, 1.80, and 3.06 mg/L exhibited lethargy, loss of equilibrium, erratic swimming, immobility, change in coloration, and/or a body deformity at the end of the study. The No Observed Effect Concentration (the highest mean, measured concentration causing no toxicant-related mortality or sublethal effects) at test end was 0.408 mg/L. The 96-hour LC50, based on mean, measured concentrations, was 2.49 mg/L, with a 95% confidence interval of 1.98 to >3.06 mg/L.

- The 96-hour LC50, based on nominal concentrations, was 0.63 mg/L with 95% confidence limits of 0.53-0.74 mg/L

- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The 96-hour LC50, based on nominal concentrations, was 0.63 mg/L with 95% confidence limits of 0.53-0.74 mg/L
- Executive summary:
Bluegill sunfish were exposed, in groups of 10, to an aqueous solution of the test material over a range of concentrations of 0.32, 0.56, 1.0, 1.8, and 3.2 mg/L for a period of 96 hours under semi-static conditions. The number of mortalities and any sub-lethal effects of exposure in each test and control vessel were determined 3 and 6 hours after the start of exposure and then daily throughout the study until termination at 96 hours. The 96-hour LC50, based on nominal concentrations, was 0.63 mg/L with 95% confidence limits of 0.53-0.74 mg/L. The No Observed Effect concentration was 0.32 mg/L.
Analysis of test solutions showed that the measured test concentration ranged from 85-115% of nominal values with the exception of the 1.0 and 1.8 ng/L concentrations at 24 hours which showed measured values of 122 and 121% of nominal respectively.

Additional information
The test substance was tested in 4 freshwater species and one saltwater species. Acute 96 -hour LC50 values in freshwater species ranged from 0.63 mg/L to 3.58 mg/L in bluegill sunfish and common carp respectively. In the saltwater species, the acute 96-hour LC50 value was 1.16 mg/L in the sheepshead minnow. The most sensitive fish species (bluegill sunfish) had an 96 -hour LC50 < 1 mg/L.
