- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study significant effects on the reproduction of Daphnia magna after 21 days could only be observed at the highest concentration of the test material, 100 mg/L.
The test material caused no mortality up to the highest concentration, 100 mg/L. The LOEC was 100 mg/L; the NOEC was 50 mg/L and the LC0 was 100 mg/L (nominal concentrations, measured values being > 80 % of nominal).
Considering the very close structural similarity between the source and target substances (as justified in the read-across report that is attached to section 13 of the dossier), results from the study performed with mecoprop-p can be extrapolated to mecoprop. - Executive summary:
The effect of the test material on daphnia reproduction was assessed according to OECD Test Guideline 202 and in compliance with GLP for 21 days under semi-static conditions at nominal concentrations of 0, 1, 2.5, 10, 25, 50, 100 mg/L.
The data indicate a low toxicity of the test material to daphnids. At the lower concentrations (up to 25 mg/L) there seems to be a slight tendency for stimulating and at 50 mg/L for inhibitory effects on reproduction. However, a statistically significant effect (p < 0.05) on reproduction was only observed at the highest test concentration, 100 mg/L, which caused a 43 % reduction in the number of live offspring.
The tested concentration of the test material (up to 100 mg/L) caused no significant mortality of the parent daphnids.
At the highest concentration (100 mg/L) next to a reduction in the number of live offspring some offspring appeared dead and aborted eggs were also observed.
The results are based on nominal concentrations as a concentration control analysis study revealed satisfactory agreement between nominal and measured data.
Under the conditions of the study the NOEC was 50 mg/L and the LOEC was 100 mg/L. The LC0 was 100 mg/L.
Findings from the study conducted with the read-across substance are viewed as representing a 'worst case' scenario bearing in mind it is information on the read-across substance that is driving the environmental classification of the registered substance. Hence relying on information on the read-across substance is viewed as representing a conservative approach to risk assessment of the registered substance.

- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: The test material is poorly water soluble and its presence in water causes a change of the pH, which is outside the range that can be supported by the test animal, therefore DMA is added. The stock solution of 1 g/L was prepared by addition of the test material to water to which Dimethylamine (DMA) was added. The dispersion was treated by ultra-sonification for 15 to 30 minutes. The resulting stock solution was neutralised with DMA.
- Other relevant information: The range of test concentrations chosen were based of the acute tests for Daphnia with the test material. The chosen concentrations were prepared by dilution of the stock solution. - Test organisms (species):

- Basis for effect:
- mortality: Number of living offspring produced per surviving parental animal {for Daphnia magna, TG 211}
- Details on results:
- REPRODUCTION AND SURVIVAL:
The results on reproduction and survival are summarised in the Table below. The mean reproduction per surviving female was calculated over 21 days.
In the first test, the reproduction was inhibited almost completely at 100 mg Test material/L. At lower concentrations, a partial inhibition was observed, but a concentration without effect was not found. The mortality in the controls was higher than allowed in the guideline. Therefore, the test was repeated with lower concentrations. The second run confirmed the findings of the first test: at 21 mg/L a partial inhibition occurred, and again a NOEC could not be established, implying that reproduction is inhibited in the range of 0.46 to 100 mg/L. Again, the mortality in the control was too high.
OTHER OBSERVATIONS:
The time to production of first brood did not seem to be affected in 0.46 mg/L, whereas in all higher concentrations, the production of the first brood was retarded as compared to the control. The parents in 100 mg/L were smaller than in lower concentrations. - The concentration of oxygen should be above 2 mg/L. This criterion was met in all cases.
- The mortality of the parent animals at the end of the test must be =< 10 %. This criterion was not met in either of the two tests.
- The coefficient of variation around the mean number of offspring per parent animal was less than 25 % in the relevant controls.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- no
- Remarks:
- Mortality was not less than 10 %, however 20 animals per test concentration were used deviating from the test guideline. In spite of a higher mortality, a sufficient number of animals remained available for valid interpretation of test results
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) for mortality (living offspring per surviving parent animal) was found to be higher than 100 mg/L which was the highest concentration used in the study. The NOEC for reproduction could not be established.
- Executive summary:
The long-term toxicity of the test material to Daphnia magna was assessed according to EEC Test Guideline (1986) ‘"Test Guideline Prolonged Toxicity Study with Daphnia magna: Effects on Reproduction" and in compliance with GLP.
Young female Daphnia, aged less than 24 hours, were exposed to the test material added to water at a range of concentrations over a period of 21 days. At the end of this period the mean number of living offspring per surviving parent animal in each of the test concentrations was compared to the mean in the control and the NOEC (no observed effect concentration) was determined. Other relevant effects, e.g., mortality of parent animals and delayed production of the first brood, were also recorded. In acute tests, the NOEC for mortality and immobility was 320 mg test material/L. In the prolonged test with 100 mg/L as the highest concentration, no increased mortality was observed. The reproduction was partially inhibited over a large range of concentrations: from 0.46 to 46 mg/L, and the reproduction was approximately 55 to 25 % of reproduction in the control. The reproduction was inhibited almost completely in 100 mg/L and a NOEC for reproduction could not be established.
Under the conditions of this study, the No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) for mortality (living offspring per surviving parent animal) was found to be higher than 100 mg/L which was the highest concentration used in the study. The NOEC for reproduction could not be determined.

Validity criteria:
The proposed EEC Guideline proposes several physical/chemical and biological validity criteria for the test:
The tests were not performed with 10 animals as required by the proposed guideline, but with 20 animals per test concentration. Therefore, in spite of the higher mortality, a sufficient number of animals and reproduction data remained
available for valid interpretation of the test results.
Mortality:
During the first test mortality was relatively high. In the highest concentration, however, the reproduction was very low and at the same time, survival was high. Therefore, the mortality in the lower concentrations in the control seemed to be the "cost" of a high reproduction rate. This is confirmed by the observation that mortality occurred mainly towards the end of the test, on day 19. In the second test, mortality was spread more evenly over the whole period. A concentration-dependency of the mortality could not be detected. The NOEC for mortality after 21 days is higher than 100 mg/L, whereas the NOEC for immobility in the acute tests was 320 mg/L. Therefore, it is concluded that an elongation of the exposition period does not decrease the NOEC for mortality.
Repoduction:
A partial inhibition of the reproduction was observed over a wide range of concentrations (0. 46 to 46 mg/L), and a good concentration-effect relationship could not be established. This implies that the two parameters survival and reproduction differ in their sensitivity by a relatively high factor of (>100 / <0.46 =) > 217. The inhibition of the reproduction was between 25 and 55% over the whole range. This rather unusual effect might be caused by the presence of a poorly water-soluble impurity in the test material sample, which consisted of a mixture, containing a number of specified impurities. A poorly water-soluble impurity would then be present in approximately the same concentration, in all test concentrations. If this impurity is toxic at its saturation value, it could cause similar inhibitory effects. If this might be the case, the test should not be repeated with this sample, but with another, more purified one.

Additional information
Key Study: Balk (1989)
The long-term toxicity of the test material to Daphnia magna was assessed according to EEC Test Guideline (1986) ‘"Test Guideline Prolonged Toxicity Study with Daphnia magna: Effects on Reproduction" and in compliance with GLP. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
Young female Daphnia, aged less than 24 hours, were exposed to the test material added to water at a range of concentrations over a period of 21 days. At the end of this period the mean number of living offspring per surviving parent animal in each of the test concentrations was compared to the mean in the control and the NOEC (no observed effect concentration) was determined. Other relevant effects, e.g., mortality of parent animals and delayed production of the first brood, were also recorded.
In acute tests, the NOEC for mortality and immobility was 320 mg test material/L. In the prolonged test with 100 mg/L as the highest concentration, no increased mortality was observed. The reproduction was partially inhibited over a large range of concentrations: from 0.46 to 46 mg/L, and the reproduction was approximately 55 to 25 % of reproduction in the control. The reproduction was inhibited almost completely in 100 mg/L and a NOEC for reproduction could not be established.
Under the conditions of this study, the No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) for mortality (living offspring per surviving parent animal) was found to be higher than 100 mg/L which was the highest concentration used in the study. The NOEC for reproduction could not be determined.
Key study: Dohmen (1993) - Read across (MCPP-P)
The effect of the test material on daphnia reproduction was assessed according to OECD Test Guideline 202 and in compliance with GLP for 21 days under semi-static conditions at nominal concentrations of 0, 1, 2.5, 10, 25, 50, 100 mg/L. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
The data indicate a low toxicity of the test material to daphnids. At the lower concentrations (up to 25 mg/L) there seems to be a slight tendency for stimulating and at 50 mg/L for inhibitory effects on reproduction. However, a statistically significant effect (p < 0.05) on reproduction was only observed at the highest test concentration, 100 mg/L, which caused a 43 % reduction in the number of live offspring.
The tested concentration of the test material (up to 100 mg/L) caused no significant mortality of the parent daphnids.
At the highest concentration (100 mg/L) next to a reduction in the number of live offspring some offspring appeared dead and aborted eggs were also observed.
The results are based on nominal concentrations as a concentration control analysis study revealed satisfactory agreement between nominal and measured data.
Under the conditions of the study the NOEC was 50 mg/L and the LOEC was 100 mg/L. The LC0 was 100 mg/L.
The NOEC from this study was taken forward for risk assessment as it represents the most conservative approach.
Supporting Study: ten Berge (1978)
The effects of the test material on daphnia reproduction was assessed over 3 weeks exposure. The new-born daphniae were separated from their mothers twice a week and counted.
Under the conditions of the test the EC50 for daphnia reproduction was 100 mg/L.
