- Details on results:
- - Mortality and clinical effects: no mortality was observed in the control and the three lowest test concentrations throughout the exposure period. At the two highest test concentrations, mortality increased with increasing concentration and increasing exposure duration, resulting in 100% mortality at the end of the test in both concentrations. Clinical effects were observed at the three highest test concentration ranging from loss of buoyancy and orientation to discoloration and fraying of skins. The severity of observed effects increased with increasing concentration and increasing exposure duration.
- Validity of the test:
1. No mortality was observed in the control throughout the test.
2. The dissolved oxygen concentration has been at least 60% of the air saturation value throughout the test (>5 mg/L at 22°C).
3. Test concentrations have been analytically measured.
The study met the acceptability criteria prescribed by the study plan and was considered valid. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The 24h-EC50 could not be determined using a regression method. Instead, the 24h-EC50-value was calculated by applying the Spearman-Karber procedure (non-linear; without trimming) on the percentages of affected daphnids and the logarithms of the corresponding nominal test item concentrations. The 48h- and 72h-LC50-values were calculated from the weibits of the percentages of dead fish and the logarithms of the corresponding test item concentrations (analytically confirmed nominal) using the maximum likelihood estimation method. Since there was no concentration between the highest concentration (A) at which 0% mortality had occurred and the lowest concentration (B) at which 100% mortality had occurred at the end of the test, the 96h-LC50 was calculated as (AB)½, where A and B are limits of the 95% confidence interval. ToxRat Professional v 3.2 (ToxRat Solutions® GmbH, Germany) was used to perform the analyses.

- Executive summary:
The toxicity of the test item to freshwater fish Cyprinus carpio was determined in a GLP-compliant study performed in accordance with OECD Guideline No. 203. A 96-hour 50% lethal concentration LC50 of 42 mg/L (95% CL 32-56 mg/L) was obtained based on analytically confirmed nominal concentrations.
