Guideline:

OECD Guideline 203 (Fish, Acute Toxicity Test)

Deviations:

no

GLP compliance:

Analytical monitoring:

yes

Details on sampling:

Concentrations of the active ingredient N-[3(5)-Methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl-methyl]acetamide in the test solutions at the start of the test (0 h) and at the end of the test (96 h) were analysed.The test concentrations for P 70/05/S-4 remained within a range of 100 to 101 % of the nominal value at the start (0 h) and at the end (96 h) of the experiment. The test concentrations were found within ± 20 % of nominal throughout the test. Therefore, all results are based on the nominal concentrations.

Vehicle:

yes

Details on test solutions:

The test item is soluble in water. Therefore, a stock solution was prepared by dissolving the test item in dilution water.
The stock solution was prepared in the following way:
- Weighing of 1000.0 mg P 70/05/S-4
- Filling with dilution water up to 1 L (= stock solution A)
The test item solution was prepared by mixing the stock solution with the dilution water directly in the test vessel immediately before the transfer of the fish in the test vessels.
The control vessel contained test medium {dilution water) only.
Five days before the start of the test, the dilution water was prepared and aerated for one day in the same cabinet and at the same temperatures as the fish test was performed.

Test organisms (species):

Danio rerio (previous name: Brachydanio rerio)

Details on test organisms:

Origin of the test organism: purchased from Zierfisch-Center SCALAR Paul-Geifiler-Str. 14, 04808 Wurzen, Germany
Origin of the fish used in the test: holding and breeding in the test facility under standardised laboratory conditions
Recommended total length of the test fish: 2.0 ± 1.0 cm
Mean length of the test fish: 2.7 ± 0.3 cm
Loading: 0.4 g fish/l

Test type:

static

Water media type:

freshwater

Limit test:

yes

Total exposure duration:

96 h

Hardness:

The sum of calcium and magnesium ions in the dilution water was 2.5 mmol/L. The proportion of Ca to Mg ions was 4:1 and of Nato K ions 10:1. The acid capacity Ka4.3of the solution was 0.8 mmol/L. Derived from the CaCI2 addition, the hardness of water was equal to 2 mmol/L CaC03 which corresponds to a hardness of 200 mg/L CaC03 (valid: > 140 and < 250 mg/L).

Test temperature:

25.8-25.9 °C

pH:

7.78

Dissolved oxygen:

8.56 mg/L

Nominal and measured concentrations:

Concentrations of the active ingredient N-[3(5)-Methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl-methyl]acetamide in the test solutions at the start of the test (0 h) and at the end of the test (96 h) were analysed.The test concentrations for P 70/05/S-4 remained within a range of 100 to 101 % of the nominal value at the start (0 h) and at the end (96 h) of the experiment. The test concentrations were found within ± 20 % of nominal throughout the test. Therefore, all results are based on the nominal concentrations.

Conclusions:

The acute toxicity of N-[3(5)-Methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl-methyl]acetamide was determined according to OECD Guideline 203 (Fish, Acute Toxicity Test). Under laboratory conditions no effects of the test item on survival of Danio rerio were determined. The NOEC (no observed effect concentration) after 96 hours was determined to be 100 mg/L.
The validity criteria were accomplished:
Number of dead fish: ≤ 10 % (observed: 0 % in the control)
Dissolved oxygen concentration at the end of the test ≥ 3 mg/L in control and test vessels measured: > 7.4 mg/L)
