A static test design was applied with an accompanying TOC-analysis. The swimming capability of the daphnids was assessed after 24 h and 48 h exposure. Samples of 5 mL were taken from each additional vessel for TOC-analysis (without test organisms in order to not disturb the TOC-analysis) of the test item treatment and NC at 0 h, 24 h and 48 h. Of these 4 samples per treatment and time, 2 were measured directly after sampling using a TOC-analyser and 2 samples were stored as retain samples in the freezer at ≤ -18 °C until finalization of the study. - Vehicle:

- The test was performed with M4 medium according to OECD 202 (2004).
- Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- The test organism Daphnia magna Straus originates from the clone breeding of the Federal Environment Agency, department IV 2.4, Berlin, and has been cultivated at Hydrotox GmbH since October 2012. The daphnids are cultured at 20 ± 2 °C with 16 h light : 8 h dark and placed into fresh M4 medium twice a week. They are kept at approx. 10 animals / 200 mL and fed on workdays with Desmodesmus subspicatus algae corresponding to 0.1 mg C × daphnid-1 × day-1. The test organisms used were 0.25 - 22.5 h old at the start of the test.

- Executive summary:
A static Daphnia magna acute immobilisation test was performed using a single concentration of 100 mg/L test item. All results are given in relation to nominal test item concentrations. NOEC was determined to be >= 100 mg/l and LOEC to be > 100 mg/l. The measured TOC-concentrations in the test item treatment were 89.0 – 91.2 % of the nominal
concentrations and stable during the exposure period. The TOC-concentrations in the control
were below the limit of quantification.
Reference
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the test item on Daphnia magna. Daphnids, less than 24 h old, were exposed to one concentration of the test item in M4 medium mfor 48 h. A static test design was applied with an accompanying TOC-analysis. The swimming mcapability of the daphnids was assessed after 24 h and 48 h exposure. A preliminary test without GLP was performed before start of this GLP-study. Nominal concentrations of 10, 40 and 160 mg/L test item were tested and showed no effects on the mobility of the test organisms. In the present study, a single concentration of 100 mg/L test item was used (limit test).
The test vessels were kept in an incubator with 16 h light : 8 h dark for 48 h. The swimming capability of the daphnids was determined after 24 h and 48 h exposure. Animals that did not swim within 15 s after gently moving the test vessel were considered to be immobile. The pH as well as the O2-concentrations were measured at the start (0 h) and at the end of the test (48 h) and the temperature was measured continuously.
The effect occurrence after 24 h and 48 h exposure was calculated. With the statistical software ToxRat Professional 3.2.1 (ToxRat Solutions GmbH, Alsdorf, Germany), LOEC/NOEC were determined.
