OBSERVATION
Observations of the fish were made after 2, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h of exposure. Mortality of the fish was recorded at the same time intervals. Dead fish were removed immediately from the test medium and weight and length recorded. Fish were considered to be dead when they showed no reaction after touching the caudal fin or no visible breathing movements.
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Spacing factor for test concentrations: a succeeding screening test with 100, 10 and 1 mg/l was performed.
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: in a preceding limit test with 100 mg/l all 7 fish died alter 2 h of exposure. No mortality was observed in the control after 96 h of exposure. - Duration:
- 96 h
- Dose descriptor:
- LC50
- Effect conc.:
- 1 - 10 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- mortality (fish)
- Details on results:
- All fish died at the nominal concentrations of 100 and 10 mg/l alter 2 and 24 h of exposure, respectively. After 96 h of exposure a total of 3 of 7 fish were dead at the nominal concentration of 1 mg/l. Other toxic effects than mortality, e.g. loss of coordination, hypoactivity and swimming on the back, were observed at 1 mg/l.
Due to the mortality of 43 % (3 of 7 fish) at the nominal concentration of 1 mg/l the nominal lethal concentration (LC50) cannot clearly be estimated. Due to the effects observed at 1 mg/l the LC0 was estimated to be <100 mg/l.
100 % mortality (LC100) was observed at 10 mg/l after 24 h of exposure.No mortality was observed in the control after 96 h of exposure. - Sublethal observations / clinical signs:

- Conclusions:
- LC50 (96h): 1-10 mg/l (nominal)
- Executive summary:
The acute lethal toxicity of test item to Poecilia reticulata (Guppy) was investigated under static exposure conditions over a period of 96 h. The only applied nominal test concentrations were 1, 10 and 100 mg/l. Due to the limited water solubility of the test substance, the nominal concentrations were prepared by direct addition. Most of the test material with the exception to the nominal concentration of 1 mg/l was lying on the bottom of the test vessels. No chemical analyses of the test substance concentrations were conducted. All fish died at the nominal concentrations of 100 and 10 mg/l after 2 and 24 h of exposure, respectively. After 96 h of exposure a total of 3 of 7 fish were dead at the nominal concentration of 1 mg/l. No mortality was observed in the control after 96 h of exposure. Other toxic effects than mortality, e.g. loss of coordination, hypoactivity and swimming on the back, were observed at 1 mg/l. Due to the mortality of 43 % (3 of 7 fish) at the nominal concentration of 1 mg/l the nominal lethal concentration (LC50) cannot clearly be estimated. Due to the effects observed at 1 mg/l the LC0 was estimated to be lower than 100 mg/l. 100 % mortality (LC100) was observed at 10 mg/l after 24 hours of exposure.
Conclusion
LC50 (96h): 1-10 mg/l (nominal)
