Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
This study established a 96 hour LC50 for o-phenylenediamine in rainbow trout fingerlings of 42.9 mg/L.
Executive summary:

oPDA was tested in a 96-hour, flow-through test using fingerling rainbow trout with measured concentrations of 6.8, 13, 28, 51, 98, and 210 mg/L. All chemical and physical parameters were within expected ranges. The 96-hour LC50 was 42.9 mg/L.
