- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: Preparation of test solutions started with the highest concentration of 5.0 mg/L (Final Test). A 28-43 minute period of magnetic stirring was applied to accelerate dissolution of the test item in medium. Lower test concentrations were prepared by subsequent dilutions of the highest concentration in test medium. All test solutions were clear and colorless at the end of the preparation procedure.
The preparation procedure was performed under dimmed light and glassware was covered with aluminum foil.

See Table 1 in 'Any other information on results' for measured concentrations. Effect parameters were calculated based on both the nominal concentrations and the average exposure concentrations. - Details on test conditions:

- Terminal procedure: At the end of the test the surviving fish were rapidly killed by exposing them to ca. 1.2% ethylene glycol monophenylether in water.
TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS

- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:

- Remarks on result:
- other: 95% confidence interval: 0.27-0.58 mg/L
- Details on results:
- - No mortality or other effects were observed in the control and the three lowest concentrations tested. All fish exposed to the highest concentration were found dead after the first 3¾ hours of exposure. Fish exposed to the nominal concentration of 1.0 mg/L did not survive the first 24 hours of exposure.
- Clinical effects observed: see Table 3 in 'Any other information on results'.
- All water quality parameters remained within the limits as prescribed by the Study Plan. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid? yes
- 96h-LC50: 0.15 mg/L (95% confidence interval 0.10-0.22 mg/L)
- The range of the 96h-LC50 for carp is generally between 0.10 and 0.46 mg/L based on historical data of reference tests performed approximately every 3 months from April 1988 until the end of 2000, and annually since then. Hence, the sensitivity of carp originating from the present batch for PCP falls within the range of sensitivities generally observed during the past years. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- LC50 value (based on nominal concentrations): Probit analysis, maximum likelihood estimation method.
3¾-LC50 value (based on average exposure concentrations): Spearman-Karber procedure (without trim).
24-96h-LC50 values based on average exposure concentrations could not be determined using the maximum likelihood estimation method or the Spearman-Karber procedure. This was because there was no concentration between the highest concentration (A) at which 0% mortality and the lowest concentration (B) at which 100% mortality occurred. Instead, the LC50 was calculated as (AB)½, with A and B being limits of the 95% confidence interval.
ToxRat Professional v 3.2 (ToxRat Solutions® GmbH, Germany) was used to perform the analyses. - Sublethal observations / clinical signs:
