Short-term toxicity to fish
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- short-term toxicity to fish
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2017-02-13 to
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 203 (Fish, Acute Toxicity Test)
- Deviations:
- yes
- Remarks:
- During the preliminary test, temperatures were outside the 21-25°C range controlled at +-2°C; test concentrations were not separated by a constant factor between 1.5 and 2.2. These deviations were not considered to have affected the outcome of the study.
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- The test item analysis is known to be complex and not reliable due to its stability: when the test item is solubilised in aqueous or organic medium a rapid hydrolysis is observed leading to the predominant formation of 3-(diethylamino) propionic acid (DEAPA). Nevertheless, at the request of the Sponsor’s Representative, the Test Facility developed an analytical procedure with the objective to assess the test item concentrations in fresh solutions only (an additional analysis on old solutions at 24h was nevertheless proposed).
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- All testing was performed using a synthetic medium. Chemical reagents used for the preparation of this dilution water were of “analytical grade”; it is prepared according to the protocol described in standard NF EN ISO 6341:
The following stock solutions were prepared:
- CaCl2, 2H2O: 11.76 g per litre of water,
- MgSO4, 7H2O: 4.93 g per litre of water,
- NaHCO3: 2.59 g per litre of water,
- KCl: 0.23 g of per litre of water,
Dilution water was obtained by adding a concentration of 25 mL/L of each of the stock solutions and then aerating the solution until oxygen saturation.
The sum of Ca and Mg ions in dilution water was of 2.5 mmol/L and ratios of Ca/Mg et Na/K were 4 and 10 respectively.
Test solutions were prepared using the synthetic medium; chemical reagents used for the preparation of the dilution water were of “analytical grade”.
The control treatment was maintained under the same conditions, with no test item. No auxiliary substance was used.
PRELIMINARY TEST
Tests solutions were prepared from dilutions of a stock solution: a known volume of test item (490 µL) was poured into a volumetric flask, the volume was then made up to 500 mL with test medium. The solution was kept under high speed stirring at ambient temperature during approximately 1 hour with a magnetic stir bar. Although the stock solution was found to be slightly troubled but homogenous no filtration was necessary before dilution. The pH of the test solutions were not adjusted.
Fish were exposed under static conditions to a series of dilutions (1.0, 5.0, 10.0, 50.0 and 100.0 mg/L nominal concentration) of the stock solution in dilution water. One tank was prepared for each test concentration; each tank contained 7 fish. Test solutions were not renewed throughout the 96h test period (static test).
DEFINITIVE TEST
Based on the results of the range-finding test, the definitive test was conducted at the same series of dilutions with semi-static conditions. A new test item stock solution was thus prepared every day as follows: a known volume of test item (490 µL) was poured into a volumetric flask, the volume was then made up to 500 mL with test medium. The solution was kept under high speed stirring at ambient temperature during approximately 1 hour with a magnetic stir bar. Although the stock solution was found to be slightly trouble but homogenous no filtration was necessary before dilution. The pH of the test solutions were not adjusted.
One tank was prepared for each test concentration; each tank contained 7 fish. Test solutions were renewed every day throughout the 96h test period (semi-static test). - Test organisms (species):
- Danio rerio (previous name: Brachydanio rerio)
- Details on test organisms:
- The test organisms were Danio rerio (Teleostei, Cyprinidae), obtained on 28 July 2016 from a recognised supplier: La Grande Rivière France (69490 Saint-Forgeux, France). All fish were in good health and free from any apparent malformation. Mortality of the batch was less than 5% in the week preceding the start of the study. No disease treatments were administered throughout holding and testing.
Holding was maintained within the laboratory at a temperature of 21-25°C in glass tanks. A light cycle of 12 h light and 12 h dark was applied, illumination being provided by fluorescent tubes (intensity between 400 and 800 lux at the surface of the tanks). Tanks were aerated to ensure that the dissolved oxygen concentration is at least 60% of air saturation value in holding tanks and in test tanks. During holding, fish were fed twice per day with ground flake food TetraMin®.
The fish were not fed for a period of 24h prior to test commencement or throughout the duration of the test.
Fish were added to the test tanks within 30 min after the completion of the preparation of the test solutions. All test fish were weighed prior to the test and a representative number of test fish batch (10 at random) was measured after the test to assess compliance with guideline criteria. - Test type:

Reference Item Test
The sensitivity of the test system and the methodology are evaluated with every batch of fish by performing an acute toxicity test on potassium dichromate. The value of 24h-LC50 obtained with the batch used for the definitive test was as follows:
Batch 16/Br/01/2: 24h-LC50 = 173.6 mg/L (obtained on 11 August 2016)
This result is consistent with the laboratory control quality chart.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The acute toxicity of the test item to Danio rerio exposed under semi-static conditions for 96h was assessed according to the OECD 203 Guideline. Fish were exposed to a series of dilutions of stock solutions in dilution water, which were renewed every day throughout the test period.
Although the test item analysis was known to be complex and unreliable, the Test Facility was asked to develop an analytical procedure to assess the test item concentrations in fresh solutions. As expected the test concentrations were aberrant but confirmed the exposure of organisms at high test item concentrations.
Due to raw data obtained (no mortality noticed in the test), no statistical analysis was necessary; the test item has no toxicity at the highest tested concentration under the test conditions. - Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test item to Danio rerio exposed under semi-static conditions for 96h was assessed according to the OECD 203 Guideline. Fish were exposed to a series of dilutions of stock solutions in dilution water, which were renewed every day throughout the test period.
Although the test item analysis was known to be complex and unreliable, the Test Facility was asked to develop an analytical procedure to assess the test item concentrations in fresh solutions. As expected, the test concentrations were aberrant but confirmed the exposure of organisms at high test item concentrations.
Due to raw data obtained (no mortality observed in the test), no statistical analysis was necessary; the test item has no toxicity at the highest tested concentration (100 mg/L) under the test conditions.
The definitive test met the validity criteria of the test guideline detailed as follows:
§ The mortality in the control did not exceed 10% at the end of the test;
§ The dissolved oxygen in the test tanks remained above 60% of the air saturation value throughout the test;
§ The pH did not vary by more than 1 unit.
Reference
Description of key information
An acute fish toxicity test according to the OECD Test Guideline 203 was conducted with Glycerol, propoxylated, esters with acrylic acid, reaction products with diethylamine (CAS 162492-10-6) under semi-static conditions.
As the test item analysis in water is complex and unreliable, recovery rates in the test solutions were highly inconsistent, although they confirmed sufficient exposure to the test item in fresh solutions. Up to the highest test item concentration tested (100 mg/L), no mortality was observed. Therefore, the LC50 is considered to be greater than this tested concentration.

Additional information
As a conservative approach for the chemical safety assessment, the LC50 is considered to be equal to the highest concentration tested (100mg/L), although no mortality was observed up to this concentration.
