Sampling and analysis

Details on sampling:

Frequency ofanalysis
(1) Test water analysis
The test water of each level was analyzed once before first analysis of test fish and at the same time as analysis of test fish thereafter. The number of each sample was one.
(2) Test fish analysis
The test fish ofLevel 1 and 2 was analyzed five times in duration of exposure. Four fish were taken out at each sampling time and divided into two groups, then both were analyzed individually*3.
The control fish was analyzed before the experimental starting and after the experimental completion. Four fish were taken out at each sampling time and divided into two groups, and then each was analyzed individually. In addition, six fish were separately taken out and three groups (two fish per group) were used for measurement of lipid contents.
*3 Because one fish was not enough to the analysis sensitivity for the analysis of the test item, two fish were pooled for a group.

Test solutions

Vehicle:
yes
Details on preparation of test solutions, spiked fish food or sediment:

The test item and HCO- 40 (50 times amount of the test item) were dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide with supersonic wave irradiation to prepare a stock solution.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The maximum BCF based on detection limit of of the test item is determined to be 2.0 (test concentration 2µg/L) and 19 (test concentration 0.2 µg/l). Therefore the test item has a very low potential for bioaccumulation
Executive summary:

The maximum BCF based on detection limit of of the test item is determined to be 2.0 (test concentration 2µg/L) and 19 (test concentration 0.2 µg/l). Therefore the test item has a very low potential for bioaccumulation
