Details on test organisms:

TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Daphnia magna
- Strain: Daphnia magna Straus 1820
- Source: CIBA-GEIGY Ltd., Facilities, Basle
- Age at study initiation (mean and range, SD): 6-i24h of age
- Method of breeding: Cultures of daphnia are maintained in glass vessels containing approx. 2.5 L of reconstituted water (see below) at 20 ± 1°C (water is renewed partially thrice weekly). At each renewal the daphnia are fed a suspension of green algae (Scenedesmus subspicatus) supplemented by a suspension of TETRAMIN-extract in such quantities that the food is consumed after 24h.
- Feeding during test : None during the test
- Number of daphnia : 20 daphnia per concentration and control 4 replicates of 5 daphnia each'
- Pretreatment : ≤24h before the start of the test reproductive daphnia are separated from the young by sieving all individuals through a 800 µm seive. This operation is repeated 6h before the start of the test and the young (6-≤24h of age) are retained for the test.

Test type:

static

Water media type:

freshwater

Limit test:

no

Total exposure duration:

24 h

Hardness:

240 mg CaCO3/L

Test temperature:

20±1°C

Nominal and measured concentrations:

Test concentrations (mg/l) : 0.0010, 0.0018, 0.0032, 0.0058, 0.010, 0.018, 0.032, 0.058, 0.10, 0.18, 0.32, 0.58, 1.0
Remarks (nominal) : Calculated amounts of stock solution to produce the desired test concentrations were given into the water and were homogeneously distributed. The daphnia were then transfered into the beakers.

Details on test conditions:

TEST SYSTEM
- Test vessel: Beakers covered with watch glasses 100 ml solution per beaker

Executive summary:

Short term toxicity of test material was evaluated on aquatic invertebrate Daphnia magna for 24 hr according to EEC-Guideline L251 .Cultures of daphnia were maintained in glass vessels containing approx. 2.5 1 of reconstituted waterat 20 ± 1"C (water is renewed partially thrice weekly). At each renewal the daphnia are fed a suspension of green algae (Scenedesmus subspicatus) supplemented by a suspension of TETRAMIN-extract in such quantities that the food is consumed after 24h. In the pretest 24h before the start of the test reproductive daphnia were separated from the young by sieving all individuals through a 800 µm seive. This operation is repeated 6h before the start of the test and the young (6-24h of age) are retained for the test. Test was performed in beaker covered with watch glass having fill volume of 100 ml. The nominal concentrations at which test was performed were 0.0010, 0.0018, 0.0032, 0.0058, 0.010 0.018, 0.032, 0.058, 0.10, 0.18, 0.32 0.58, 1.0 mg/l.
