Further standard conditions:
- Basins have been cleaned with RBS-35 solution (FLUKA 83462) and rinsed with clean water.
- Testing water should be kept at a pH between 6 and 8.5. In case of deviations, pH needs to be adjusted with NaOH or HCl solution.
- Acclimatization period: minimum 12 days at 10-13 °C for trout.
- Feeding periods: daily (TETRA MIN, flocks, Dr. U.Baersch GmbH, D-4520 Melle, Germany)
- Day-night cycles: 12/12h
- Termination: For termination of the experiment MS-222 (Sandoz) should be used at 1% (Methacain).

Conclusions:
The LC50 of FAT 40069/A in this fish acute toxicity test was determined to be 45 mg/L.
Executive summary:

The acute fish toxicity test was performed according to a methodology similar to OECD Guideline 203. Rainbow trout species was used in the experiment setup. Fish were tested at these different following concentrations: 2, 20 and 100 mg/L

- At 2 mg/L: all 8 fish were alive at 24 and 48 hours of exposure time.

- At 20 mg/L: all 8 fish were alive at 24 and 48 hours of exposure time (pH was 7.4 after 48 hours exposure time).

- At 100 mg/L: all fish were dead after 6 hours of exposure time (pH was 8.0 after 48 hours exposure time)

In conclusion the results obtained were.

LC0 = 20 mg/L

LC50 = 45 mg/L

LC100 =100 mg/L.
