Reference
Endpoint:
short-term toxicity to fish
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
disregarded due to major methodological deficiencies
Reliability:
3 (not reliable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
significant methodological deficiencies
Principles of method if other than guideline:
A study was conducted to determine the short term toxicity of the test substance to fish according to an unspecified method. Oryzias latipes were exposed for 96 h to the test substance at concentrations of 100, 500 and 1000 mg/L (nominal). Mortality was assessed daily.

Under the study conditions, the 96 h LC50 of the substance to Oryzias latipes was determined to be greater than 100 mg/L (nominal).
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the short term toxicity of the substance to fish according to an unspecified method. Oryzias latipes were exposed for 96 h to the test substance at concentrations of 100, 500 and 1000 mg/L (nominal). Mortality was assessed daily. Under the study conditions, the 96 h LC50 of the substance to Oryzias latipes was determined to be greater than 100 mg/L (nominal) (Yamada, 1984). The study is considered unsuitable for risk assessment purposes due to lack of information on the impurities of the test substance and on critical experimental data.

Description of key information

Under the read-across study conditions, the mean measured 96 h LC0 of the substance in Danio rerio was determined to be greater than 78 mg/L (measured) of the organic components (equivalent to 95 mg/L of the test substance including the inorganic components). The LC50 could not be determined due to absence of any adverse effects.

Additional information

A study was conducted to determine the short-term toxicity of the read-across substance to Zebra fish according to EU Method C.1, in compliance with GLP. The fish were exposed for 96 h to the test substance at concentrations of 0 and 100 mg/L. Mortality and symptoms (swimming action) were assessed daily. Analytical verification of test concentrations was conducted by TOC determination. There were no mortality or symptoms observed in any group. Under the study conditions, the mean measured 96 h LC0 of the substance in anio rerio was determined to be greater than 78 mg/L of the organic components (equivalent to 95 mg/L of the test substance including inorganic components) (Caspers, 1999). The LC50 could not be determined due to absence of any adverse effects.
