MEASUREMENTS
Oxygen, pH, temperature: prior to the addition of fish to the test medium and after 2 ,24, 48, 72 and 96 h of exposure
EFFECT MEASURED
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. The median lethal concentration (LC50 value) is the concentration killing 50 % of the fish after a cedain period of exposure. Any mortality above 1 fish per sample is considered to be significant.
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Test concentrations: 1, 10 and 100 mg/l.
- Number fish per concentration: 3 fish.
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: 100 % mortality was observed at 100 and 10 mg/l after 2 and 24 hours of exposure, respectively. 2 fish died at 1 mg/l after 48 hours. No mortality was observed in the control after 96 hours of exposure. Based on these data nominal concentrations were chosen for the definitive test. - Duration:
- 96 h
- Dose descriptor:
- LC50
- Effect conc.:
- 2.1 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- mortality (fish)
- Details on results:
- After 96 hours of exposure a total of 7 and 2 of 7 fish were dead at the nominal concentrations of 4 and 2 mg/l, respectively. 1 fish died at 1 mg/l after 72 hours of exposure. No mortality was observed at 0.5 and 0.25 mg/l and in the control after 96 hours of exposure.
Other toxic effects than mortality, e.g. loss of coordination, hypoactivity and swimming on the back, were observed at 4 and 2 mgll, respectively. - Sublethal observations / clinical signs:

- Conclusions:
- LC50 (96h): 2.1 mg/l (nominal)
- Executive summary:
The acute lethal toxicity (LC50) of test item to Poecilia reticulata (Guppy) was investigated under static exposure conditions over a period of 96 h. 7 fish per concentration were exposed to the test substance. Nominal concentrations of the substance as selected by a range finding test were 0.25, 0.5, 1.2 and 4 mg/l, respectively. Individual test concentrations were prepared by dilution of a stock solution. No chemical analyses of test concentrations were conducted.
After 96 h of exposure a total of 7 and 2 of fish were dead at the nominal concentrations of 4 and 2 mg/l, respectively. 1 fish died at 1 mg/l after 72 h of exposure. No mortality was observed at 0.5 and 0.25 mg/l and 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 4 and 2 mg/l, respectively.
Based on these data, nominal lethal concentration (LC50) of test item to Poecilia reticulata was calculated to be 2.1 mg/l.
The no-observed-effect concentration (NOEC) was 0.5 mg/l. One fish died at 1 mg/ and is considered to represent a significant effect since already in the range finding test 2 of a total of 3 fish died at 1 mg/l.
100 % mortality (LC100) was observed at the nominal concentration of 4 mg/l.
Conclusion
LC50 (96h): 2.1 mg/l (nominal)

Additional information
The acute lethal toxicity (LC50) of test item was investigated, under static exposure conditions, over a period of 96 h. The experiment was performed in accordance with the OECD guideline 203. After 96 h of exposure a total of 7 and 2 of fish were dead at the nominal concentrations of 4 and 2 mg/l, respectively. 1 fish died at 1 mg/l after 72 h of exposure. No mortality was observed at 0.5 and 0.25 mg/l and 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 4 and 2 mg/l, respectively. Based on the observations, the nominal lethal concentration (LC50) of test item to Poecilia reticulata was calculated to be 2.1 mg/l.
Similar results were obtained in a second experiment conducted on Brachydanio rerio, Hamilton-Buchanan. Also in this case, the study was conducted according to the OECD guideline 203. In order to identify the LC50, the cumulative percentage mortality was plotted against the concentration on logarithmic-probability paper and a line was fitted, by eye. The maxlmum concentration producing no mortality was 0.9 mg/l (meas. geom. mean); while, the minimun concentration producing 100 % mortality was 2.3 mg/l (meas. geom. mean). The LC50 (96h) was estimated to be 2 mg/l (graphically estimated).
In addition, an old test is available: it was performed in accordance with internal procedures of the testing facility. Unfortunately, the reliability of the data cannot be judged because of the lacking of details about test material and testing procedures and conditions. The LC50 after 48 hours was indicated to be 1.4 mg/l (nominal).
