Test solutions were prepared once and started with a loading rate of 100 mg/L applying a three-day period of magnetic stirring to ensure maximum dissolution of the test item in medium. The obtained aqueous mixture was allowed to settle for a period of 15-35 minutes. Thereafter, the saturated solution was collected by means of siphoning and used as the highest test concentration. Lower test concentrations were prepared by subsequent dilutions of the saturated solution in test medium. All test solutions were clear and colorless at the end of the preparation procedure.
- Final test: Test solutions were prepared daily and started with a loading rate of 100 mg/L. Test solutions prepared for day 0 and day 1 were magnetically stirred for three days to ensure maximum dissolution of the test item in medium. Test solutions prepared for day 2 and day 3 were magnetically stirred for two and one day(s), respectively. All obtained aqueous mixtures were allowed to settle for a period of 15-35 minutes. Thereafter, the saturated solutions were collected by means of siphoning and used as the highest test concentration. Lower test concentrations were prepared by subsequent dilutions of the saturated solution in test medium. All test solutions were clear and colorless at the end of the preparation procedure.

TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Range finding study : yes
- Test concentrations: 0 (control), 1.0, 10 and 100% of a saturated solution prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/L. The range-finding test was performed under static conditions without renewal of test concentrations.
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: yes - Reference substance (positive control):
- yes
- Remarks:
- pentachlorophenol (February 2017)
- Key result
- Duration:
- 96 h
- Dose descriptor:
- LC50
- Effect conc.:
- > 0.052 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- meas. (geom. mean)
- Conc. based on:
- test mat. (dissolved fraction)
- Basis for effect:
- mortality (fish)
- Remarks on result:
- other: Average measured concentrations determined as mathematical means of the geometric mean of the concentrations of test substance measured in the samples taken during the first and the last renewal period.
- Details on results:
- - Mortality in test media: At average measured test concentrations of 0.052 (solubility limit in test medium), 0.19 and 1.1 mg/L cumulative mortalities were 29%, 29% and 57%, respectively. Mortality at these concentrations was first observed after 72 hours exposure.
- Mortality of control: No
- Other adverse effects control: No
- Clinical observations: One of 3 remaining fish after 96 hours exposure to an average measured concentration of 1.1 mg/L showed discolouration. No other clinical effects were observed.
- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: Yes (see 'Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables'). - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid? yes
- Dose-response test: yes (test concentrations: 0.10, 0.22 and 0.46 mg/L)
- 96-h EC50: 0.32 mg/L (95% C.L. 0.22 - 0.46 mg/L). This effect was already reached within 24 hours of exposure.
- Other: The range of the 96h-LC50 for carp is generally between 0.10 and 0.46 mg/L based on historical data of reference tests performed approximately every 3 months from April 1988 until the end of 2000, and annually since then. Hence, the sensitivity of carp originating from the present batch for PCP falls within the range of sensitivities generally observed during the past years. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Not applicable. No LC50 could be calculated because the test item proved to be above the solubility limit of Oxacycloheptadecan-2-one in test medium.

- Remarks:

- Conclusions:
- The 96-h LC50 value is >0.052 mg/L in fish (C. carpio). The concentration of 0.052 mg/L is considered to be the limit of solubility in test medium.
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity to fish was examined in a study according to OECD TG 203 and in compliance with GLP criteria. In addition, procedures were based on the test methods described in the OECD series on testing and assessment number 23, 2000.
A Saturated Solution (SS) was prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/L and used as the highest concentration. Lower test concentrations were prepared by diluting the SS in test medium. Seven fish per group were exposed to a control and to 4.6, 10, 22, 46 and 100% of the SS for 96 hours under semi-static conditions (daily renewal). Samples for analytical confirmation of exposure concentrations were taken at the start and at the end of the first and the last renewal period. At the end of the second, third and last renewal periods undissolved test item was observed in the test solutions at 22, 46 and/or 100% of the SS. Based on these observations it can be concluded that test solutions at and above 22% of the SS contained concentrations above the solubility limit of test item in test medium during at least part of the 96h exposure period. Due to the general decrease of test item concentrations during the 24-hour renewal periods the average concentrations were calculated to be 0.0098, 0.026, 0.052, 0.19 and 1.1 mg/L. Concentrations at and above 0.052 mg/L were considered to be above the solubility limit in test medium. Mortality and clinical effects were recorded at 4.75, 24, 48 72 and 96 hours after start of exposure. The study met the acceptability criteria and was considered valid.
At average measured test concentrations of 0.052 (solubility limit in test medium), 0.19 and 1.1 mg/L cumulative mortalities after 96 hours exposure were 29%, 29% and 57%, respectively. Mortality at these concentrations was first observed after 72 hours exposure. The 96-h LC50 approximated an average concentration of 1.1 mg/L. As however this concentration is considered to be above the solubility limit of test item in test medium, the 96-h LC50 value is determined at >0.052 mg/L.
