Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
In this study the test substance was found to be toxic to Leuciscus idus melanotus after 96 hrs at a measured test item concentration of 9.9 mg/L and higher. Therefore, the NOEC was laid down as 7.1 mg/L (measured test item concentration). The LC50 (96 hrs) is 8.4 mg/L
Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of the test item Secondary alkane sulfonate, sodium salt to Leuciscus idus melanatus was determined in a 96 -hour flow-through test according to the EU Commission Directive 84/449 C1.

The concentrations of the test item of 3.2, 7.1, 9.9, 14.7 and 20.3 mg/L were tested in parallel with a control. There was no mortality at the control group. The highest tested concentration without an effect was 7.1 mg/L. The calculated LC50 was 8.4 mg/L (arithmetic mean). The lowest tested concentration with 100 % effect was 9.9 mg/L.

Up to a concentartion of 7.1 mg/L no mortality was observed.
