Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
acute toxicity to freshwater algae: lowest IC50 0.136 mg Zn/l (Selenastrum capricornutum; single value) (neutral/high pH)
chronic toxictiy to freshwater algae: lowest NOEC 0.019 mg Zn/l (Pseudokircherniella subcapitata =Selenastrum capricornutum; geomean of 27 data)
chronic toxicity to marine algae: 12 species available which NOECs range between 0.0078 and 0.67 mg/l (dissolved concentrations)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Acute freshwater toxicity tests of high quality and relevancy performed according to standard protocol. Information is on 1 species which is in both the acute and chronic aquatic database on zinc the most sensitive. The lowest IC50 value is taken as reference value for classification for acute effect at neutral/high pH.
Chronic freshwater toxicity tests of high quality and relevancy according to standard protocol or equivalent. Data on 2 species, one of which the most sensitive of all freshwater organisms, second species is less sensitive.
Chronic seawater tests of high quality and relevancy according to standard protocol or equivalent. Data on 12 species, for which 3 species are in the low part of the species sensitivity distribution. One species of macro-algae is the second most sensitive of all seawater organisms.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
