- Method: Stock solution S1 was prepapared by adding 10.2 mg to 1000 mL test medium and ultra-sonicating for 20 minutes and and well agitating on a magnetic stirrer for 40 minutes. From this stock solution 25 mL were added to 500 mL test medium to yield stock solution (S2) and well agitated on a magnetic stirrer for 5 minutes. From stock solution (S2) dilution series wereprepared by adding appropriate aliquots of this stock solution to the test medium to yield the nominal test concentrations.
- Differential loading: no
- Controls: dilution water only
- Test concentration separation factor: 2.2 - Test organisms (species):
- Chironomus riparius
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: harlequin fly
- Age at study initiation: 2 - 3 days after hatching
- Stage and instar at study initiation: 1st instar larvae
- Method of breeding: kept in cages (40 x 40 x 40 cm), with a gauze on each side of the cage. A basin is set on the bottom of each cage. The bottom of the basins are covered with a thin layer of "Kieselgur" (silica) and a 4 - 5 cm high layer of reconstituted water according to Elendt medium (M7), which is aerated gently. To start a culture in the cage, 2 - 4 egg masses are placed into the prepared basin. The hatched larvae are fed
with green algae and an aqueous suspension of a plant material based fish food (Tetra Phyll®). After 2 to 3 weeks the adults emerge. After mating, female adults will lay egg masses on the water surface where these can be taken to start a new culture or to perform toxicity tests. The culture conditions are 20 ± 2 °C and 16 to 8 hours light-darkcycle (light intensity ca. 500 - 1000 lux).

Additional information
Eight experimental GLP studies are available testing the acute toxicity of 3-(2-chlor-5-pyridyl-methyl)-cyanimino-1,3-thiazolidin towards invertebrates.
The key study was performed with the harlequin fly Chironomus riparius accroding to OECD 235. Larvae of Chironomus riparius were exposed for 48 hours in a static test system to concentrations of 1.00, 2.20, 4.80, 10.6, 23.4 and 51.5 µg a.i./L. Mean measured concentrations were in a range of 95.7 and 101.2 % of nominal concentrations. The EC50 (48 h) for mobility was determined to be 10.8 µg/L (nominal).
This result is supported by further experimental studies assessing the acute toxicity of the test item.
The first supporting study was performed according to OECD 202 with water flea Daphnia magna under static conditions. First instars were exposed to a concentration range between 1.0 and 100 mg a.i./L. Mean measured test concentrations of the test substance during the whole test period ranged from 85 - 105 % of nominal concentrations. As in the highest concentration only 20 % mortality was observed after 48 hours, an EC50-calculation could not be performed. The LC50 (48 h) is therefore determined to be > 85.1 mg a.i./L (mean measured) and therefore considerably higher than the key value.
A second supporting study assessed the acute toxicity of the test item in Hyalella azteca according to EPA OPP 72-2 in a static system. H. azteca were exposed to nominal concentrations ranging from 6.25 and 100 µg a.i./L. Mean measured concentrations were between 91 – 100 % of nominal concentrations. The LC50 (96 h) was determined to be 40.7 µg a.i./L (mean measured).
Four further supporting experimental studies assessed the short-term toxicity of the test item according to OECD Guideline 202 under static conditions with different invertebrate species.
Field collected mayflies (Ecdyonurus sp.) larvae were exposed for 48 hours under static conditions to the nominal concentration range from 0.004 to 0.09 mg a.i./L. Mean measured test concentrations of the test substance ranged from 75 – 93 % of nominal concentrations. The derived LC50 (48 h) and EC50 (48 h) values were 0.0238 mg a.i./L and 0.0077 mg a.i./L, respectively, based on nominal concentrations.
Field collected caddis flies (Sericostoma personatum) were exposed to nominal concentrations between 0.001 and 1 mg a.i./L. No analysis was performed for this range-finding test. The EC50 (48 h) value for immobility in S. personatum larvae was observed to be between 0.1 and 1.0 mg a.i./L (nominal).
Asellus aquaticus was exposed to five concentrations between 0.009 and 0.20 mg a.i./L. Mean measured test concentrations of the test substance were in the range 93 – 94 % of nominal concentrations. The derived LC50 (48 h) value for mortality to A. aquaticus was 0.0989 mg a.i./L (nominal). The EC50 (48 h) value for mortality and immobility was 0.0758 mg a.i./L (nominal).
Amphipod Gammarus pulex were exposed to nominal concentrations ranging from 0.004 to 2.0 mg a.i./L. Mean measured concentrations were between 88 – 97 % of nominal concentrations. EC50 (48 h) value for immobility was determined to be 0.068 mg a.i./L (nominal) and the LC50 (48 h) value for mortality in G. pulex was 0.056 mg a.i./L (nominal).
Furthermore, one study assessing the toxicity of the test item to a saltwater species is available. In this study, saltwater mysids (Americamysis bahia) were exposed to a geometric series of six test concentrations of the test item in a static toxicity test according to EPA OPP 72-3. Mean measured concentrations ranged from 102 – 112 % of nominal concentrations. The LC50 (96h) was determined to be 0.31 µg a.i./L (mean measured).
