Results summary
All criteria of test validity were met, namely:
· dissolved oxygen concentration was 83.0% - 89.2%, i.e. above 60% of air saturation value (i.e. above 4.9 mg 02/l) throughout the test duration,
· the temperature was maintained at constant level of 24.5 ± 0.6 °C.
· the concentration of the test material was at 86.2% - 97.1% as compared with nominal concentrations, i.e. it was maintained within ± 20% of the mean measured values,
· survival of fertilized eggs in control was 76.7%, i.e. above the acceptable 70% thresh-old value.
Hatching per cent for control was 98.3% (one dead embryo) while 98.3% for 0.10 mg/l concentration (one dead embryo), 95.0% (three dead embryos) for 0.32 mg/l concentration, 93.3% (four dead embryos) for 1.0 mg/l concentration, 100.0% (no embryo mortality) for 3.2 mg/l concentration and 91.7% (five dead embryos) for 10.0 mg/l concentration. Dead embryos in control were observed on day four in replicate 2. In case of 0.10 mg/l concentration dead embryos were observed on day two only in replicate 2, while for concentration 0.32 mg/l on day two and four only in replicate 2, in concentration 1.0 mg/l on day two and three in replicates 1 and 2, in concentration 10.0 mg/l on day two and three in replicate 1 and 2.
Hatching started on day four of the test and ended on day six in control. In case of concentration 0.10 mg/l the hatching started on day four and ended on day six; for concentration 0.32 mg/l it was day two and six, respectively; for concentration 1.0 mg/l day two and six; for concentration 3.2 mg/l day two and six; and for concentration 10.0 mg/l day three and six.
The first dead larvae were observed in control on day 11 of the test while the last dead larvae were noticed on day 24. For concentration 0.10 mg/l the first dead larvae were observed on day 10 of the test while the last case of mortality on day 28. For concentration 0.32 mg/l the first dead larvae were noticed on day 11 and the last dead ones on day 30. For concentration 1.0 mg/l the first dead larvae were observed on day 11 and the last ones on day 30. For concentration 3.2 mg/l the first dead larvae were noticed on day 10 and the last case of mortality on day 30 but 100% mortality was observed after 27 days in case of replicate 2. For concentration 10.0 mg/l the first dead larvae were observed on day 10 and the last case on day 30. The mean survival for control was 78.3%, for concentration 0.10 mg/l the survival was 51.7%, for concentration 0.32 mg/l - 53.3%, for concentration 1.0 mg/l - 78.3%, for concentration 3.2 mg/l- 18.3% and for concentration 10.0 mg/l 51.7%.
The fish were weighed (blotted dry) and measured at the end of the test. The mean body weight of the control fish at the end of the test was 1.79 mg per fish, in concentration 0.10 mg/l the mean was 1.37 mg per fish, in concentration 0.32 mg/l - 2.38 mg per fish, in concentration 1.0 mg/l the mean weight was 2.06 mg per fish, in concentration 3.2 mg/l it was 0.7 mg per fish and in concentration 10.0 mg/l- 0.96 mg per fish. The mean length of control fish was 1.03 mm while in concentration 0.10 mg/l- 0.98 mm, in concentration 0.32 mg/l- 0.82 mm, in concentration 1.0 mg/l - 1.03 mm, in concentration 3.2 mg/l - 0.64 mm and in concentration 10.0 mg/l - 0.92 mm. There was no statistically significant differences in the mean weights and lengths between control and test concentrations except for concentration 3.2 mg/l.
No changes in appearance and behavior of fish (hyperventilation, uncoordinated swimming, atypical quiescence and atypical feeding behavior) were noticed throughout the test duration.
Since LOEC is above the highest used concentration of 10.0 mg/l (nominal concentration) then NOEC equals 10.0 mg/l or is above this concentration.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Executive summary:
The test was performed according to the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No 210 and Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP, OECD 1997).
The aim of the study was to assess effects of prolonged exposure to MCPA technical of Brachy-danio rerio in early life stages (NOEC in mg/1 after 30 days).
The test material was used in five concentrations with separation factor 3.2 in range of 0.10 mg/1 to 10.0 mg/l. No observable effect concentration (NOEC) after 30 days exposure to MCPA technical equals or is above 10.0 mg/l (nominal concentration), LOEC is above the highest used concentration of 10.0 mg/l (nominal concentration).
