Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The EC50-48h of ethyl 2-bromoisobutyrate on daphnia was calculated to be 87 mg/L with 95% confident ranging from 43 to 69 mg/L.
Thus, ethyl 2-bromoisobutyrate has to be considered as Harmful to aquatic life (aquatic acute toxicity 3)
