- Conclusions:
- The study concluded that the the 96 hour LC50/EC50 value was above 427.14 mg/L for the test substance.
- Executive summary:
The study assesses the aquatic toxicity of 2 -Butyl butanoic acid compound with 2-aminoethanol to marine fish. The study is performed in compliance with GLP and the testing guidelines followed were OECD 203 (1992) - OECD guidelines for testing of chemicals fish, acute toxicity test and OSPAR Commission (1995) (amended March 2005) Part B, Protocol for a fish acute toxicity test. All validity criteria were complied with, with the exception test temperature which fell below the guideline criteria at various timepoints. However, the laboratory considered this acceptable in terms of test validity as fish were healthy in appearance and active throughout the 96 hour test. The test organism used was Scophthalmus maximus. The results of the definitive limit test showed that the 96 hour LC50/EC50 value was above 427.14 mg/L for the test substance (1 replicate). A mortality control was included which showed 0% mortality rates from a population of 7 organisms (1 replicate).
