- Details on results:
- - Biological observations: Up to 45.5 mg/L no fish embryo died or showed any of the four apical observations (lack of heartbeat, coagulation, lack of somites, non-detachment of the tail from the yolk sac) after 96 hours. At the highest tested concentration, 100 mg/L, three embryos were coagulated after 96 hours, though this was not calculated to be statistically different from the control treatment.

- Mortality: 95%
- LC50: Not derived, as only one concentration was tested
- Other: Hatching success was 5% - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The 96-hour LC50 the corresponding LC20 and LC10 values and where possible their 95 %-confidence limits were calculated by Probit analysis. The 96-hour LOEC and the 96-hour NOEC, were determined by Chi2 2x2 table test with Bonferroni correction. The software used to perform the statistical analysis was ToxRat Professional (Version 3.2.1, ToxRat Solutions GmbH).

- Conclusions:
- Based on nominal concentrations, the 96-hour LC50 for the test substance to zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos was > 100 mg/L and the 96-hour NOEC was 100 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test substance to embryos of zebrafish (Danio rerio) was determined under static conditions according to OECD 236 (2013) Fish Embryo Acute Toxicity Test. Fish embryos were exposed to a range of nominal concentrations of 4.3, 9.4, 20.7, 45.5 and 100 mg/L, alongside a test water control. The following endpoints were recorded as indicators of acute lethality in fish embryos: the coagulation of the embryo, lack of somite formation, the non-detachment of the tail-bud from the yolk sac and the lack of heartbeat. Furthermore, the hatching rate was recorded.
At 4.3 mg/L test substance and up to and including the concentration containing 45.5 mg/L of test substance no fish embryo died or showed any of the four apical observations (lack of heartbeat, coagulation, lack of somites, non-detachment of the tail from the yolk sac) after 96 hours. In the control one fish embryo coagulated after 96 hours and in the highest test substance concentration of 100 mg/L of test substance three embryos were coagulated after 96 hours, though this was not calculated to be statistically different from the control treatment. Hatching success in the control was 96%. At 4.3 mg/L of test substance up to and including 20.7 mg/L hatching success was 100%. At 45.5 mg/L of test substance hatching success was 95% and at 100 mg/L 85%.
Based on nominal concentrations, the 96-hour LC50for the test substance to zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos was > 100 mg/L and the 96-hour NOEC was 100 mg/L.
