Results with reference substance (positive control):

48 h-LC50 of the positive control Chloroacetamide: about 26 mg/l (corresponds to normal sensitivity).

Reported statistics and error estimates:

The NOEC, the LOEC, the LC0 and the LC100 were determined directly from the raw data. The LC50 was determined from the geometrical mean of the LC0 (46.4 mg/l) and the LC100 (100 mg/l).
