Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information
In the 1959 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service publication entitled “Lethal Doses of Several Commercial Chemicals for Fingerling Channel Catfish” (U.S. FWS, 1959), the toxicity of numerous chemicals used in the channel catfish culture were reported. The LD50 for channel catfish fingerlings was determined to be 624 mg/L and an LD0 or a No Observed Effects Concentration (NOEC) was determined to be 489 mg/L.
The test conditions used to
perform the tests were the same as those described in the supporting
study entitled “The Chemical Control of Some Diseases and Parasites of
Channel Catfish" (Clemens and Sneed, 1958). The bio-assay methodology
used to determine the toxicity of the test material to channel catfish
fingerlings was reported in the supporting study entitled “Bio-Assay
Methods for the Evaluation of Acute Toxicity of Industrial Wastes to
Fish” (Duodoroff et al., 1951).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
