- Details on sampling:
- - Concentrations:
- Sampling method:
Duplicate samples from the freshly prepared test media of all test concentrations and the control were taken at the start of the test and at day 3.
For the determination of the stability of the test item under the test conditions, respectively the maintenance of the test item concentrations during the test period, samples were taken in duplicate out of all test media and the control at day1 and at the end of the test (96 hours).
However, from the test concentrations of nominal 45.5 and 100 mg test item/L duplicate samples were taken after 48 hours additionally, because all fish were dead.
All test medium samples were taken from the approximate centre of the aquaria.
- Sample storage conditions before analysis:
All samples were stored in a freezer (≤ - 10 °C), protected from light until analysis was performed.
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- Test Concentrations:: Filtrates of nominal 100, 45.5, 20.7 and 9.39 mg test item/L. Additionally, a control was tested in parallel.
Control: In the control, test water was used without addition of the test item.
Dosage of Test Item:
The test item was not well soluble in test water. To consider the
impurities of the test item all concentrations were prepared
individually by suspending the following amounts of test item in test
water:
For day 0: 103.9 mg in 11065 mL
228.6 mg in 11043 mL
501.7 mg in 11026 mL
1101.5 mg in 11015 mL
For day 1: 104.1 mg in 11068 mL
228.1 mg in 11019 mL
501.4 mg in 11020 mL
1101.1 mg in 11011 mL
For day 2: 104.1 mg in 11068 mL
29.0 mg in 11063 mL
For day 3: 104.3 mg in 11108 mL
228.9 mg in 11058 mL
The suspensions were stirred for 24 hours in the dark to dissolve as much test item as possible. Then, the undissolved test item was separated by filtration (0.65 + 0.45 μm Cellulose Acetate Filter). The test media were prepared just before introduction of the test fish (=start of the test and test medium renewal on day 1, 2 and 3).
Appearance of the Test Itemin Test Medium:
The appearance of the test item in the test medium was observed at least once every day in all freshly prepared and aged test media of all test concentrations.
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Oncorhynchus mykiss (previous name: Salmo gairdneri)
- Details on test organisms:
- Species: Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Age and Size: Juveniles;
The mean body length of the fish* in the test was 5.34 cm ± 0.28 cm (Mean ± SD), the mean body wet weight 1.39 ± 0.21 g (Mean ± SD). * 10 fish from the test fish batch were measured before the start of the test
Sex: Male and female
Origin: The test fish were obtained from Forellenzuchtbetrieb Tautenhahn, 98646 Trostadt, Germany.
Holding Conditions: All fish were obtained and held in the laboratory for at least 12 days before the start of the test. They were held in water of the quality to be used in the test for at least seven days immediately before testing under the following conditions:
Light: 16 hours photoperiod daily
Temperature: 13 - 17 °C
Oxygen concentration: at least 80 % of the air saturation value
Feeding: three times per week or daily until 24 hours before the test was started
During the last 7 days prior to the start of the test no fish died in the test fish batch. Therefore the mortalities in the fish batch were below 5 % and the fish batch was accepted.

Test Conditions
Test Environment: Controlled environmental room Measurement of pH-Values, Dissolved Oxygen and Water
Temperature: The water temperature, pH-values and the dissolved oxygen concentrations were determined daily in the freshly prepared and aged test media of each treatment group.

Light Intensity: 540 to 980 lux
Aeration of the Test Water: The test media were slightly aerated during the test.
Recording: Test conditions were recorded with suitable instruments and documented in the raw data.
Pre-Experiments: Pre-experiments were performed to determine the solubility of the test item in test water and to select suitable methods for the preparation of a stock solution and the dosage of the test item into the test media.
Range-Finding Test: For the determination of the test concentrations a range-finding test was performed. However, according to the OECD Series on testing and assessment No. 23: "Guidance Document on Aquatic Toxicity Testing of Difficult Substances and Mixtures", 2000 concentrations in excess of the solubility were not tested.
No GLP compliance in pre-experiments and the range-finding test - Reference substance (positive control):
