Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
An LC50 for ZK 47.569 could not be calculated, since no concentration-dependent mortality
was observed in this study but lies between 1 and 2 mg/L. However, clear effects (total apathy
in all fish) were observed after a 24-hour exposure at concentrations of 2.0, 3.6, and 8.1 mg/I
(nominal). The NOEC/24 hours is therefore 1 mg/L.
It is anticipated that the degree of effects and the clear concentration relationship gives
sufficient information on the acute toxicity of ZK 47.569 to fish. A further test over the full test
period of 96 hours is not considered to add relevant information.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to determine the acute toxicity/96 hours of the test compound

Ethyldienol to the Zebra fish (Brachydanio rerio). The study was conducted in agreement with

the test guideline of the OECD, no. 203 "Fish, Acute Toxicity Test".

Ten Zebra fish each were exposed to four concentrations of the test substance and the dilution water for aperiod of 48 hours under flow-through conditions. The test solutions were prepared using 0.2 g Tween 80/L as a vehicle. The same vehicle

concentration was used for the control.

The following nominal test concentrations were selected: 1.0, 2.0, 3.6 and 8.1 mg/L. No chemical analysis was performed. However, it is assumed that under the given flow-through conditions > 80% of the nominal concentration of test compound was maintained taking in account the flow-rate and the hydrolytical stability.

Mortalities and visual abnormalities were recorded at 3, 6, 24, and 48 hours.

The results of the test after 48 hours could not be evaluated due to a technical defect of the

test system. Therefore, only the data related to the 24-hour exposure time are reported.

Mortality (one fish) was observed in the test concentration of 3.6 mg/L within 24 hours.

A concentration- and time-dependent occurrence of total apathy was noted at concentrations

of 2.0 to 8.1 mg/L. Additionafly, two fish were found to have lost equilibrium in the concentration

of 3.6 mg/L. The fish in the control group were free from abnormal effects.
