- Source/preparation of dilution water: Tap water of local origin was used for holding and testing.
- Chlorine: The water was filtered on activated charcoal and aerated for at least 24 hours to remove chlorine.
- Alkalinity: 0.60 mmol/L
- Intervals of water quality measurement: pH-value, temperature and oxygen saturation were measured in all test vessels at the beginning and at the end of the exposure and every 24 hours from fresh and old test media. Total hardness of the water was determined at the beginning out of the control. During the test the water temperature was recorded once per hour with a data logger. The light intensity on the surface of the test aquaria was measured at test start.
- Acidity: 0.10 mmol/L
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Photoperiod: A daily 16 hours photoperiod was maintained throughout exposure which corresponded to the natural daylight hours.
- Light intensity: 7 - 750 Lux
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED:
Observations were made after 3, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h. Fish were considered dead if there was no visible movement (e.g. gill covers movement) and if touching of the caudal peduncle produced no reaction. Records were kept of visible abnormalities (e.g. loss of equilibrium, swimming behaviour, respiratory function, pigmentation, etc.). For measurements of size and weight the control fish were used at the end of the exposure. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Details on results:
- - Behavioural abnormalities: Animals treated with 28.4 mg/L showed hyperventilation and staggering after 3 h exposure. 5 animals treated with 13.9 mg/L showed missing escape reflex after 24 h exposure. After 48 h two animals showed staggering and 1 animal showed side position. After 72 and 96 h 1 animal showed staggering.
- Observations on body length and weight: Body weight and length averages were determined before the experiment start as 0.13 g and 2.5 cm. No observation was made during or after the exposure.
- Other biological observations: Mortality was observed for all animals treated with 28.4 mg/L after 24 h exposure. Treatment with 13.9 mg/L resulted in the death of 2 animals each after 24, 48 and 72 h of exposure. No mortality was observed for the other concentrations.
- Mortality of control: No mortality was observed.
- Any observations (e.g. precipitation) that might cause a difference between measured and nominal values: No.
- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: No. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- After 24 to 96 hours only one partial response occurred. Therefore, the LC10 and LC20 values were given as a range and the LC50-values were calculated by sigmoidal regression. The concentrations enclosed to the LC50-values after 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours were chosen as lower and upper confidence limits. The LC0- and LC100-value were determined directly from the test results.
The geometric mean measured test item concentrations after 96 hours of exposure were used for all corresponding calculations. The chosen methods for determination of LCx-values were in accordance with the OECD series on testing and assessment No. 54 (2006). - Sublethal observations / clinical signs:

- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The 96 hour LC50 for fish was determined to be 13.1 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test substance to Zebrafish was determined according to OECD 203 (1992) and under GLP conditions. This study encompassed one treatment group for the dose rates of the test item and one replicate for the control. Each group contained 7 individuals. The acute toxicity to unfed juvenile Zebrafish (Danio rerio) was determined in semi-static, 96-hour test under 24 hours renewal conditions. The test concentrations and the control were analytically verified via HPLC-DAD from freshly prepared media and from corresponding aged test media. The nominal test concentrations were 0 (control), 1.88, 3.75, 7.50, 15.0 and 30.0 mg/L. The measured concentrations of the test substance based on the mean values were 1.08, 2.77, 6.06, 13.9 and 28.4mg/L. The measured concentrations in freshly prepared test media were in the range of 57 to 105 % of the nominal values. In corresponding 24 h aged test media, the measured concentrations were between 42 to 89 % of the nominal values. An additional peak was found in the chromatograms of 24 hours old solutions. It may be caused by a hydrolysis product of test item. All effect values are based on the geometric mean measured concentrations of the test item. The 96 hour LC50 was determined to be 13.1 mg/L.
