- Based on the nominal concentrations, the median lethal concentration LC50 (96 h) for test chemical on Danio rerio was observed to be 1.56 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
This study was designed to assess the toxic effects of the test compound on the Zebra fish. A static procedure was used for the study and it was conducted in compliance with the OECD guideline 203. Test conducted under the static system for 96 hrs under the static system. The test substance was soluble in water. Therefore, the test solution was prepared by dissolving 6.24 mg, 12.5 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg & 100 of the test substance in 4 liters of potable water (passed through reverse osmosis system) with continuous stirring for achieving test concentrations of 1.56 mg/L, 3.125 mg/L, 6.25 mg/L, 12.5 mg/L & 25 mg/L, respectively. Based on the nominal concentrations, the median lethal concentration LC50 (96 h) for test chemical on Danio rerio was observed to be 1.56 mg/L. Thus based on the LC50 value, chemical consider to be toxic and classified as aquatic chronic 2 as per the CLP classification criteria.

Additional information
Summarized result for the toxicity of test chemical on the mortality of fishes were reviewed and mention as below:
This study was designed to assess the toxic effects of the test compound on the Zebra fish. A static procedure was used for the study and it was conducted in compliance with the OECD guideline 203. Test conducted under the static system for 96 hrs under the static system. The test substance was soluble in water. Therefore, the test solution was prepared by dissolving 6.24 mg, 12.5 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg & 100 of the test substance in 4 liters of potable water (passed through reverse osmosis system) with continuous stirring for achieving test concentrations of 1.56 mg/L, 3.125 mg/L, 6.25 mg/L, 12.5 mg/L & 25 mg/L, respectively. Based on the nominal concentrations, the median lethal concentration LC50 (96 h) for test chemical on Danio rerio was observed to be 1.56 mg/L. Thus based on the LC50 value, chemical consider to be toxic and classified as aquatic chronic 2 as per the CLP classification criteria.
Above experimental study was supported by the second supporting data from authoritative database. Short term toxicity of test chemical were studied on the mortality of fish. Test conducted under the static system for 96 hrs. The 96 hour LC50 value of test chemical in fish was determine to be 5.8 mg/L. Thus based on the LC50 value, chemical consider to be toxic and classified as aquatic chronic 2 as per the CLP classification criteria.
Similar acute toxicity of fish were determine on the mortality rate of fishes Lepomis macrochirus. Juvenile Lepomis macrochirus were used in the study. Test conducted under the static system for 48 hrs. After the 48 hrs of incubation effects on the mortality rate of fishes were observed. Based on the mortality the 48 hour LC50 value of test chemical in fish (Lepomis macrochirus) was determine to be 4.8 with 95 % CI of (4.5-5.0) mg/L. Hence on the basis of LC50 value, chemical consider to be toxic and classified as aquatic chronic 2 as per the CLP classification criteria.
In the fourth acute toxicity of test chemical were determine on the mortality rate of fish Ictalurus punctatus. Based on the mortality of fish (Ictalurus punctatus) by the chemical exposure for 48 hrs, the LC50 value was determine to be 1.5 mg/L.
Similar short term toxicity of test chemical on the mortality of fish were studied. Test conducted under the static system for 24 hrs. The 24 hour LC50 value of test chemical in Oryzias latipes was observed to be 5.6 mg/L at 20°C and 5.5mg/L at 10°C on the basis of mortality. These values indicate that the chemical will exhibit short term toxicity to fish. As per the CLP criteria, the substance will be classified in Aquatic Chronic Category 2.
Objective of this sixth study was to determine the effect of test chemical on the mortality of fish Oryzias latipes. Test conducted under the static system for 48 hrs. The 48 hour LC50 value of test chemical in fish (Oryzias latipes) was observed to be 5 mg/L at 20°C.
Thus based on the overall studies for the test chemical, it was concluded that the chemical was toxic and classified as aquatic chronic 2 as per the CLP classification criteria.
