Reference
Endpoint:
short-term toxicity to fish
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1987
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Justification for type of information:
The main structure of the read-across substance is the same of the CJ313, only the salt form is different. However, this difference does not influence the toxicity of the CJ313. CJ313 contains Li/Na salt form and the read-across substances contains only Na salt. This will not lead to difference on the toxicity results.

Executive summary:

The acute fish toxicity test was performed according to a methodology similar to OECD Guideline 203. Zebrafish: (Danio rerio) were used in the experiment setup. Fish were tested at these different following concentrations: 320 and 1000 mg/L. No mortality occurred at 300 mg/L, while 2 out of 10 fish died at 1000 mg/L concentration.

In conclusion the results obtained were.

LC0 = 300 mg/L

LC50 >1000 mg/L

LC100 >1000 mg/L.

Description of key information

The LC50 of FAT 40032/D in the fish acute toxicity test was determined to be greater than 1000 mg/L.

Additional information

Acute toxicity of Reactive Brown 011 to fish was determined in four available studies. The outcome of all these studies, indicated the LC50 to be >1000 mg/L.

In the key study, Zebrafish: (Danio rerio) were exposed to FAT 40032/D at 300 and 1000 mg/L for 96 hours. No mortality occurred at 300 mg/L while 2 out of 10 fish were found dead at 1000 mg/L concentration.

In conclusion the results obtained were:

LC0 = 300 mg/L

LC50 >1000 mg/L

LC100 >1000 mg/L.

Several other studies are available, results of which are presented below:

FAT 40032/A:

TL0 = 1000 mg/L

TL50 = >1000 mg/L

TL100 = >1000 mg/L

FAT 40032/B: (96 h)

TL0 = 1000 mg/L

TL50 >1000 mg/L

TL100 >1000 mg/L

FAT 40032/C: (96 h)

TL0 = 300 mg/L

TL50 >1000 mg/L
