- - The concentrations of the test material in the test water for both level 1 and 2 were analysed 16 times; twice a week intervals (n=1). The concentrations in the test fish for both levels were analysed 4 times; in weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8 (n=2). The control fish were analysed at the initiation and the termination of exposure (n=2).
- Vehicle:
- yes
- Remarks:
- HCO-40 (Hydrogenated castor oil)
- Details on preparation of test solutions, spiked fish food or sediment:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: Test material supplied by the sponsor and HCO-40 (40 times amount of the test material) were dissolved with acetone. After acetone was evaporated from the solution, ion-exchanged water was added to the mixture to prepare 1000 mg/L stock solution.
- For level 1 a 400 mg/L stock solution was prepared
- For level 2 a 40 mg/L stock solution was prepared
- Control: HCO-40 was dissolved in ion-exchanged water to prepare 16 g/L stock solution of each concentration. - Test organisms (species):
- Cyprinus carpio
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Carp
- Length at study initiation: average 9.8 cm
- Weight at study initiation: average 22.9 g
- Lipid content at test initiation: average 4.2%
- Health status: The fish were checked visually in the receiving and those demonstrating any abnormalities were removed. The fish were reared for 6 days in a flow through system following an external disinfection.
- Feeding during test
- Food type: Pelleted feed for carp.
- Amount: An amount corresponding to about 2% of the total body weight of the test fish was fed twice a day in halves. On the day of fish sampling no feed was given.
ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation period: After rearing, the fish were medicated to eliminate parasites and transferred to an acclimatising aquarium. After the second external disinfection, they were acclimatised. The fish those demonstrating any abnormalities during this period were removed and reared for 40 days in a flow through system at the temperature of 25 + 2°C. The fish were then transferred to test tanks and reared at the same temperature in the flow through system for another 26 days, following the external disinfection. - Route of exposure:
- aqueous
- Justification for method:
- aqueous exposure method used for following reason: The test material was stable during the exposure period, as shown by the finding that IR spectra of the test material before the initiation and after the termination of the exposure, were identical under the storage conditions.

DISCUSSION
- Recovery of test material from test fish: The average recovery rate of component 1 (Peak A) from test fish was 61.5% (n=2). The information provide by the sponsor suggested that the component 1 is changed to converted product C and converted product D. An unknown peak was detected on the chromatogram of HPLC analysis in the recovery test for the test fish analysis. This unknown peak was analysed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and the result suggests that it is converted product C. Therefore, it is considered that a part of the component 1 (Peak A) was changed to converted product C by the contact with the fish homogenate and this change made the recovery rate low.
- Bioconcentration factors of hydrolysed reaction product: It was suggested that the component 1 of the test material was changed to converted product C and converted product D. Therefore, the test fish at 8 weeks were also analysed and the chromatograms obtained were compared with that of the authentic sample of the converted products. As a result, the peak that had the same retention time as converted product D in the authentic sample was noticed. The mass spectrum by LC-MS of this peak was the same as that of the converted product D. When bioconcentration factors for Peak D were determined by a comparison of the peak area of component 1 (Peak A) on the chromatogram of the standard solution, they were 1.0 and 0.8 at Level 1 and 5.7 and 5.8 at Level 2. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- not specified
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the bioconcentration factors of the test material in peak A were: level 1: ≤ 0.8 – 74 and level 2: ≤ 8.0 – 74 and in peak B were: level 1: ≤ 5.5 – 74 and level 2: ≤ 54 – 130.
- Executive summary:
The bioaccumulation potential of the test material in fish was investigated in accordance with Japanese guidelines and in a study similar to that of OECD 305C. The test was performed under GLP conditions.
During the study Cyprinus carpio were exposed to the test material for 8 weeks at concentrations of 1 and 0.1 mg/L (nominal) in a continuous flow through system. The test material was confirmed to be stable under storage and test conditions.
The average recovery rate of component 1 (Peak A) from test fish was 61.5% (n=2). The information provided by the sponsor suggested that the component 1 is changed to converted product C and converted product D.

Additional information
The bioaccumulation potential of the test material in fish was investigated in accordance with Japanese guidelines and in a study similar to that of OECD 305C. The test was performed under GLP conditions. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
During the study Cyprinus carpio were exposed to the test material for 8 weeks at concentrations of 1 and 0.1 mg/L (nominal) in a continuous flow through system. The test material was confirmed to be stable under storage and test conditions.
The average recovery rate of component 1 (Peak A) from test fish was 61.5% (n=2). The information provided by the sponsor suggested that the component 1 is changed to converted product C and converted product D. An unknown peak was detected on the chromatogram of HPLC analysis in the recovery test for the test fish analysis. This unknown peak was analysed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and the result suggests that it is converted product C. Therefore, it is considered that a part of the component 1 (Peak A) was changed to converted product C by the contact with the fish homogenate and this change made the recovery rate low.
