- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- mortality
- Details on results:
- No data available
- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- No data available
- Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Linear regression analysis on MINITAB 12 was used to determine EC50. The EC50 was taken as the concentration required producing a reduction of 50% in mortality of control experiments.
Percentage mortalities were adjusted relative to the control mortality, following Abbot’s formula, p = pi – C/1 - C; where pi denotes the observed non-zero dose response and C represents the mortality of controls. One-way analysis of variance followed by Fisher’s least significant difference post-hoc analysis was used to test for the effect of test chemical concentration. Data were arcsine (square root) transformed prior to analysis.
Any other information on results incl. tables
Exposure for 24 hrs to undecanal, was determined to be significant (F = 5.24,
× P=0.004) with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 10 mg/ml. Exposure to undecanal for a period of 72 h also had a significant effect ( F = 2.62,P=0.029).Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- not specified
- Conclusions:
- Based on the mortality of test organism, the EC50 value was found to be 10 mg/l.
- Executive summary:
Long term toxicity study to Artemia salina was carried out for 72 hrs.
A. salinacysts were induced to hatch by vigorously aerating 1 l of freshwater in a conical flask at 18°C for 24 h. This newly hatched nauplii were then used for the study.
Due to the low solubility of test chemical in water, the test substance was dissolved initially in 0.5 ml ethanol and then transferred to 0.45 mm filtered seawater (FSW) to give stock solutions of concentration 100mg/ml, from which serial dilutions were performed to give the required experimental concentrations.
The newly hatched nauplii were concentrated into a volume of 100 ml using a fine mesh sieve. From this volume, aliquots of 50ml (approximately 30–50 nauplii) were pipetted directly into 24-well plates containing 2 ml of oxygen saturated FSW, solvent blank or chemical standards. The plates were sealed and incubated at 15°C for 24 or 72 h with additional aeration occurring after 12 h. Incubation media was renewed daily.
Survival was assessed by scoring the number of dead nauplii lying on the bottom of each plate using a Zeiss inverted microscope.
