Details on results:
At the highest concentration 5 mg/L, only a few larvae hatched. A few days later, all larvea were dead in all replicates of this concentration.
Therefore, no further analytical measurement was performed at this concentration.
A clear toxicity was also observed at a concentration of 1 mg/L. Only a few surviving larvae are still present at this time.
At the beginning and on day 7 samples were taken from the aquarium. On day 7 the measured concentrations were much too low.
