TEST SYSTEM
- Test vessel: open Glass bassin (30 x 22 x 24 cm), calibrated for 10 Liters, standing in a waterbath made from plastics.
The temperature of the water bath was controlled for 22+-1 °C by a thermostate
- Aeration: no aeration except the 1000 mg/L group after 48 hours

no
Duration:
96 h
Dose descriptor:
LC0

Dose descriptor:
LC0
Effect conc.:
5 000 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
meas. (arithm. mean)
Conc. based on:
test mat.

Key result
Duration:
96 h
Dose descriptor:
LC50
Effect conc.:
> 5 000 - < 10 000 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
meas. (arithm. mean)
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
mortality (fish)
Duration:
96 h
Dose descriptor:
other: LC80
Effect conc.:
10 000 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
meas. (arithm. mean)
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
mortality (fish)
Remarks on result:
other: 8 from 10 fish
Details on results:
- Behavioural abnormalities: increased breathing, increased or decreade activity, swim posture tail-heavy,
Integument dark colored
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
For the 30% acetoacetamid solution the LC50 was determined as 5000 to 10000 mg/L and LC0=5000 mg/L.
This means, for the pure substance these values can be calculated as
LC0 = 1500 mg/L (pure substance) and
LC50 = 1500 - 3000 mg/L (pure substance)
Therefore, acetoacetamid is not subject for classification concerning the toxicity to fish.
Executive summary:

A 30 % solution of acetoacetamide was tested for toxicity to zebra fish acc. OECD 203 guideline. Nominal concentrations of 500 mg/L, 5000 ml/L and 10000 mg/L were used. After 96 hours no mortality was observed

up to 5000 mg/L. For 10000 mg/L after 48 hours 6 of 10 fish have died and after 96 hours 8 of 10 fish. For LC 50 only a range can be given as LC50 = 5000 to 10000 mg/L and for the LC0=5000 mg/L.

Calculated for the pure substance: LC50 = 1500 - 3000 mg/L. Therefore, acetoacetamid is not subject for classification concerning the toxicity to fish.
