Concerning general behavior of larvae and adult shrimp:
- Lying on side at the bottom in the test aquaria and a decreased reflex activity by the physical stimulation were observed.
- Throughout the observation period, no abnormal malting activity was seen in both aged stages of shrimps.
From the frequency and degree of these findings, it was considered that larva seem to be more sensitive to the test substance than adult shrimps.
A small age difference to freshwater shrimp was suspected.
Corbicula used were 2.1 +/- 0. 1 cm in length, 2.0 +/- 0.1 cm high and 3.2 +/- 0.8 g in weight of the shell at the end of test.

Additional information
Three experimental studies are available testing the acute toxicity of the test substance towards aquatic invertebrates. None of the studies was conducted according to GLP.
One available study was conducted with Daphnia magna as the test organism (1994b). The study procedure is similar to OECD guideline 202. Daphnids were exposed to nominal test item concentrations of 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 mg/L for 48 h. Acetone was used as a vehicle and therefore a vehicle control as well as an untreated control were run in parallel. The concentration of the solvent in bioassay water was in part above the recommendation of 0.1 mL/L as given by the OECD (2018): 1 mL/L in the highest test concentrations. In the lower test concentrations the concentration of solvent was 0.1 mL/L or below. No mortalities occurred, but effects were observed at the concentration level of 0.01 mg/L and higher. However, no symptoms or mortalities were observed in both controls. Moreover, no oxygen depletion was observed. The study resulted in an EC50 (48 h) of 0.1 mg/L (nominal). Effects were observed within and above the water solubility (2.5 mg/L). Thus, effects above the water solubility could be of physical nature and the result can be considered as a worst case.
Another available study was performed with the clam Corbicula japonica as the test organism (1996d). The clams were exposed for 96 h to the nominal test item concentrations of 1, 3, 10, 30, and 100 mg/L as well as to an untreated and a vehicle control. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was used as a vehicle. The concentration of the solvent in bioassay water was in part above the recommendation of 0.1 mL/L as given by the OECD (2018): 1 mL/L and 0.3 mL/L in the two highest test concentrations, respectively. In the lower test concentrations the concentration of solvent was 0.1 mL/L or below. No oxygen depletion was observed. Neither mortalities nor effects were observed at the concentration levels of 1 to 10 mg/L. At the concentration of 30 mg/L and above, all animals shut the shell and evaded the test substance after 96 h. However, no mortalities were determined. No mortalities were observed in the untreated and vehicle control as well. Therefore a LC50 (96 h) > 100 mg/L was derived.
One further study is available investigating the short term toxicity of the substance towards freshwater shrimp (1994c). Larvae (10-14 d) as well as adult shrimps (40-50 d) of the species Paratya compressa improvisa were exposed to nominal test item concentrations of 0 (control, vehicle control), 0.08, 0.4, 2, and 10 mg/L for 96 h. Acetone was used as a vehicle. The concentration of the solvent in bioassay water was above the recommendation of 0.1 mL/L as given by the OECD (2018) in the three highest test concentrations. In the lowest test concentrations the concentration of solvent was below 0.1 mL/L. No oxygen depletion is reported. Mortalities occurred at the two highest test item concentrations for larvae and only at the highest tested concentration for adults. The study showed that larvae are more sensitive to the substance compared to adult shrimps. A 48 and 96 h LC50 of 4.5 and 4 mg/L were derived for larvae while the 48 and 96 h LC50 for adult shrimps was >10 and 6.5 mg/L (nominal), respectively. No mortalities were observed in the untreated and vehicle control as well. Effects were observed within (only larvae) and above (larvae, adults) the water solubility (2.5 mg/L). Thus, effects above the water solubility could be of physical nature and the result can be considered as a worst case.
All results are used in a weight-of-evidence approach. The lowest effect concentration (EC50 (48 h) = 0.1 mg/L) derived by the experimental study with Daphnia magna was used as key value for this trophic level.
