- Conclusions:
- For Atlantic salmon, the LC50 value of test chemical after 96 h of exposuer of test chemical was determined to be 32.35 mg/L in a static system. However, LC50 value was also determined at 24h, 48h and 72h which are 34.28 mg/L, 33.31 mg/L and 32.35 mg/L, respectively. Also, no observable effect limit (NOEL) was determined at 6 mg/L.
Whereas, for Rainbow trout, the LC50 value of test chemical after 96 h of exposure of test chemical was determined to be 22.91 mg/L with the no observable effect limit (NOEL) at 5 mg/L. However , LC50 value at 24h, 48h and 72h was determined to be 23.47 mg/L, 23.19 mg/L and 23.19 mg/L, respectively. - Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the toxic effects of test chemical on fish. The test organisms used in this study were Atlantic salmon (Salmo safar L.) and Rainbow trout (Oncorhynus mykiss Richardson). Nominal concentrations prepared for Atlantic salmon and Rainbow trout were 1, 6, 13, 25, and 50 mg/L and 0, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 50mg/L,. Fishes were maintained in holding tanks for two weeks prior to testing on a 12-h daylight photoperiod. Dilution water which was derived from well water was run through a series of filters. Temperature was monitored and recorded every 30 min. After the exposure of test chemical, both the species showed loss of equilibrium at 50 mg/L within 25–30 s, eventually immobility was observed on the bottom of the vessel. Hence, after 96h of exposure, the LC50 value for Atlantic salmon and Rainbow trout was determined to be 32.35 mg/L and 22.91 mg/L, respectively.
However, for Atlantic salmon LC50 value at 24h, 48h and 72h was 34.28 mg/L, 33.31 mg/L and 32.35 mg/L, respectively with NOEL at 6 mg/L. Whereas for Rainbow trout LC50 value at 24h, 48h and 72h was 23.47 mg/L, 23.19 mg/L and 23.19 mg/L with NOEL at 5 mg/L.
Since the test chemical is readily biodegradable the test chemical is considered to be nontoxic to fish and cannot be classified according to CLP regulation.

Additional information
Various experimental studies have been reviewed from different sources to determine the short term toxicity of test chemical to fish and their results are summarized below.
The first study was reviewed from the authoritative databases and peer reviewed journal in this study an experiment was conducted to determine the toxic effects of test chemical on fish. The test organisms used in this study were Atlantic salmon (Salmo safar L.) and Rainbow trout (Oncorhynus mykiss Richardson). Nominal concentrations prepared for Atlantic salmon and Rainbow trout were 1, 6, 13, 25, and 50 mg/L and 0, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 50mg/L,. Fishes were maintained in holding tanks for two weeks prior to testing on a 12-h daylight photoperiod. Dilution water which was derived from well water was run through a series of filters. Temperature was monitored and recorded every 30 min. After the exposure of test chemical, both the species showed loss of equilibrium at 50 mg/L within 25–30 s, eventually immobility was observed on the bottom of the vessel. Hence, after 96h of exposure, the LC50 value for Atlantic salmon and Rainbow trout was determined to be 32.35 mg/L and 22.91 mg/L, respectively. However, for Atlantic salmon LC50 value at 24h, 48h and 72h was 34.28 mg/L, 33.31 mg/L and 32.35 mg/L, respectively with NOEL at 6 mg/L. Whereas for Rainbow trout LC50 value at 24h, 48h and 72h was 23.47 mg/L, 23.19 mg/L and 23.19 mg/L with NOEL at 5 mg/L.
Next study was also reviewed from journal and authoritative databases in this astudy was conducted to determine the toxic effects of test chemical on fish. The test organisms used in this study were Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus Raf.) and Channel catfish (Ictulurus punctatus Raf.). Nominal concentrations prepared for both the species were 5, 10, 20, 40, 50 and 100 mg/L. Fishes were maintained in holding tanks for two weeks prior to testing on a 12-h daylight photoperiod. Dilution water which was derived from well water was run through a series of filters. Temperature was monitored and recorded every 30 min. After the exposure of test chemical, both the species indicated abnormal behaviour, eventually mortality was observed. The LC 50 value was determined by using probit analysis method and after 96 h of exposure of test chemical to fish , the LC50 value for Bluegill and Catfish was determined to be 9.12 mg/L (95% C.I. = 7.98 - 10.51 mg/L) and 16.23 mg/L (95% C.I = 11.57 - 22.47 mg/L), respectively. However, for Bluegill LC50 value at 24h, 48h and 72h was 19.80 mg/L, 9.12 mg/L and 9.12 mg/L, respectively with NOEL at 7 mg/L. Whereas for Catfish LC50 value at 24h, 48h and 72h was 20.08 mg/L, 17.35 mg/L and 16.94 mg/L with NOEL at 7 mg/L.
In addition to above next study was reviewed from authoritative database in this a study was conducted to determine the short-term toxicity of test chemical to fish. The test organisms used in this study was Oncorhynchus mykiss (previous name: Salmo gairdneri). The test chemical was exposed to Rainbow trout for 96h. The experiment was conducted in flow through system using freshwater. After the exposure of test chemical, the LC50 and NOEL was determined to be 25.4 mg/L and 7.36 mg/L, respectively.
Another study was also reviewed from authoritative database in this astudy was conducted to determine the short-term toxicity of test chemical to fish. The test organisms used in this study was Lepomis macrochirus. The test chemical was exposed to Lepomis macrochirus for 96h. The experiment was conducted in flow through system using freshwater. After the exposure of test chemical, the LC50 and NOEL was determined to be 42.56 mg/L and 33.6 mg/L, respectively.
Next study was reviewed from journal in this a study was conducted to determine the short-term toxicity of test chemical to fish. The test organisms used in this study was Ictalurus punctatus (common name: Channel catfish). Fishes of length 9.9 - 21cm were stocked in the holding pen pond. Test vessel used for the study was 6,664-L holding tank which was 3 m in diameter. Test chemical was applied to the surface at one of the following application rates: 0, 2.2, 20, 40, 100, or 200 kg/ha. The formulation (test chemical) was seen as an oily sheen covering the water's surface. The analytical monitoring of test chemical was done and for that water samples were taken at depths of 0.03 and 0.35 m from the surface to quantify the amount of test chemical. During the 12-h exposure period Ictalurus punctatus behaved normally and kept mostly to the bottom of the tank at a depth of 0.9 m. After the exposure of test chemical for 12 h the LD50 value of test chemical on test organism was determined to be 20 mg/L.
The last study was conducted to determine the short-term toxicity of test chemical on Cyprinus carpio for 68 h. The test fishes were captured with an alternating-current electric boat shocker in the New York State Barge Canal. The test chemical was exposed to fish by oral route and it was force feed in the form of gelatin capsules. Nominal concentrations used were 184, 191 and 204 mg/Kg. After the exposure of test chemical effect were observed. If a fish acted or looked other than normal it was considered to be sick. If no movement occurred it was recorded as dead. However, mortality was not observed at the concentration range from 184 - 204 mg/Kg. Thus, from the above observation, it can be concluded that the NOEC value of the test chemical on Cyprinus carpio after 68 h was determined to be in the range 184-204 mg/Kg.
By considering results of all the studies mentioned above the LC 50 value of test chemical was determined to be in range from 9.12 mg/L to 42.56 mg/L. Since the test chemical is readily biodegradable the test chemical is considered to be nontoxic to Fish and cannot be classified according to CLP regulation.
