OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH: 7.3
- Photoperiod: 12 hours light and 12-hour darkness
Duration:
96 h
Dose descriptor:
LC50
Effect conc.:
> 50 - < 100 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
mortality (fish)
Details on results:
Determination or calculation of the median lethal concentration (LC 50) and the symptoms of the nominal concentrations were done after 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. LC0 (96 hours) (highest concentration at which no mortality was observed) = 50 mg/L
LC50 (96 hours) Experimental = > 50 mg/L
LC100 (96 hours) (lowest concentration at which 100% mortality was observed) = 100% mortality was not observed in any of the concentration

Conclusions:
Based on nominal concentrations, experimental median lethal Concentrations [LC-0 (96 h)] for test material on Zebra Fish were found to be > 50 mg/L. The LC50 was calulated to be 75 mg/L.
Executive summary:

Fish Acute Toxicity test according to OECD Guideline 203 was conducted for test material.The test substance was soluble in water. Therefore, the test solution was prepared by dissolving 62.5 mg, 125 mg, 250 mg, 500 mg& 1 g of the test substance in 10 liters of potable water (passed through reverse osmosis system) with continuous stirring for achieving test concentrations of 6.25 mg/L, 12.5 mg/L, 25 mg/L, 50 mg/l & 100 mg/L, respectively. The nominal concentration selected for the experiment were 6.25 mg/L, 12.5 mg/L, 25 mg/L, 50 mg/l & 100 mg/L and Zebra fish were exposed to these concentration for 96 hours. The fishes were slowly swimming without showing any abnormal symptoms. No mortalities were found in the control aquaria.The lethal concentrations LC0 was found to be 50 mg/L. And LC50 was calculated to be 75 mg/l.
