Specific malformations were observed in the development of the notochord 2 days after fertilisation. The notochords were abnormally stretched and were twisted and distorted. Malformations in the muscle tissue and organ dislocations were also observed. Other sublethal effects: oedemous bodies, failure to hatch or to shed the eggshell, lumpy skin, incomplete fins.

Conclusions:

On a molecular weight scaled basis, the NOEC for PAX would be 6.65mg/l. (2.5 x 202.37) /76.13 =6.65 mg/l

Executive summary:

The effect of CS2 was studied in an Early Life Stage test with Danio rerio (zebra fish). The test resembled the OECD 212 test, but was carried out in sealed vessels for 8 days to prevent the escape of volatile CS2.
