Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Short-term toxicity to fish
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- short-term toxicity to fish
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: A review of existing data. The investigations were performed with potassium bromate. A read across to sodium bromate is justified as both substances dissociated in water and Na+ and K+ ions are naturally occurring species.

- Effect conc.:
- 698 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:

- Conc. based on:
- other: bromate (BrO3-)
- Remarks on result:
- other: Data for juvenile spot.
- Duration:

- Dose descriptor:

- Effect conc.:
- 279 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- other: bromate (BrO3-)
- Remarks on result:
- other: Data for juvenile spot.
- Details on results:
- Newly hatched striped bass prolarvae were most sensitive to bromate and had a 96-h LC50 of 30.8 mg/l (as BrO3-). Four-day-old striped bass larvae were less sensitive, with 2- to 10-d LC50s ranging from 605.0 to 92.6 mg/l BrO3-, respectively.
Juvenile spot, which is the age most comparable to standard acute ecotoxicity tests, were least sensitive, with 1- to 10-d LC50s ranging from 698.0 to 278.6 mg/l BrO3-, respectively.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Juvenile spot showed 1- to 10-d LC50s ranging from 698.0 to 278.6 mg/l BrO3-, respectively.

Juvenile spot (Leiostomus xanthurus), which is the age most comparable to standard acute ecotoxicity tests, were least sensitive, with 1- to 10-d LC50s ranging from 698.0 to 278.6 mg/l BrO3-, respectively.
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.
