- Details on results:
- - Mortality of parent animals:
The test item induced biologically significant adult mortality of 40 % at the concentration level of 200 mg/L and 100 % at the concentration level of 400 mg/L during the test period of 21 days. In the concentration levels of 25.0 to 100 mg/L and in the control, all parental daphnids survived until the end of the test after 21 days. The EC10 for the adult mortality was calculated by sigmoidal dose-response regression to be 190 mg/L (95 % confidence limits: Not applicable). The EC50 for the adult mortality was calculated accordingly to be 202 mg/L (95 % confidence limits: 100 – 400 mg/L). The EC100 for the adult mortality was 400 mg/L.
- No. of offspring produced per day per female:
The number of juveniles in all replicates of the control and the test groups was counted and recorded every day.
The average number of living juveniles per surviving parental daphnid at the end of the test after 21 days was 89 in the control group. The reproductive output was statistically significant increased at the concentration level of 100 mg/L and statistically significant reduced at the concentration level of 200 mg/L in comparison to the reproductive output in the control (One Way Analysis of Variance, DUNNETT’S method, p = 0.05).
At the concentration level of 400 mg/L, all daphnids died before producing juveniles. At all other concentration levels, the reproductive output was comparable to the reproductive output at the control.
The coefficient of variation of the number of living offspring produced per parental daphnid was 11 % in the control. At the concentration levels of 25.0 to 100 mg/L, the coefficient of variation was in the range of 10 to 15 %. The coefficient of variation of 46 % at the concentration level of 200 mg/L is regarded to be biologically significant. Generally in a well-run test, the coefficient of variation around the mean number of living offspring per parent animal should be ≤ 25 %.
Based on the significant increase and reduction of the reproductive output and the significant adult mortality at the nominal concentration of 100, 200 and 400 mg/L, the No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) after 21 days was assessed at 50.0 mg/L and the Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC) was assessed at 100 mg/L.
The EC10 for the reduction of the reproductive output was assessed to be in the range of 100 – 200 mg/L. The EC50 was assessed to be in the range of 200 – 400 mg/L.
- Body length and weight of parent animals:
The mean values of the body length of the surviving parental daphnids in the tested concentration levels of 25.0 to 200 mg/L were determined to be in the range of 5.23 to 5.40 mm per daphnid and 5.13 mm per daphnid in the control group.
The mean dry body weight of the surviving parental daphnids was determined to be in the range of 0.57 to 0.81 mg per daphnid in the concentration levels of 25.0 to 200 mg/L and 0.63 mg per daphnid in the control.
- Type and number of morphological / behavioural abnormalities: please refer to the respective table
- Time to first brood release or time to hatch:
The first brood was released between days 8 and 11 by all parental daphnids of the control and the concentration levels of 25.0 to 100 mg/L. At the concentration level of 200 mg/L, the first brood was released between days 11 and 16, which is delayed in comparison to the control group.
At the tested concentration levels of 25.0 to 50.0 mg/L and in the control, 4 broods were produced by the surviving parental daphnids. At the concentration level of 100 mg/L, one of ten surviving parental daphnids produced five broods and nine of ten surviving parental daphnids produced four broods. At the concentration level of 200 mg/L, one of six surviving parental daphnids produced only three broods and five of six surviving parental daphnids produced four broods. At the concentration level of 400 mg/L, all daphnids died before producing juveniles.
No males were observed in the control or in the test groups during the test.
No ephippia were observed in the control or in the test groups during the test. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid? yes
- Relevant effect levels: EC50 (24 h) = 2.1 (CI 1.8 - 2.4) mg/L - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The NOEC and the LOEC based on the statistical significance of the reproductive output (increase and reduction) were deduced from the results of the statistical evaluation as described below. Significant deviations were determined in comparison to the control using statistical standard procedures as normality test, equal variance test and analysis of variance. Prior to running the analysis of variance, a normality test and an equal variance test was performed. P-values of the normality and equal variance tests should be 0.05. For the determination of significant deviations of the stillborn juveniles and aborted eggs, the P-value was < 0.05 and therefore the normality and the equal variance test failed. The -value (acceptable probability of incorrectly concluding that there is a difference) was =0.05. For the determination of significant deviations of the reproductive output, One Way Analysis of Variance, DUNNETT’S method (p = 0.05) was used. Significant deviations of the number of stillborn juveniles and aborted eggs were determined by KRUSKAL-WALLIS One Way Analysis of Variance on Ranks, DUNN’S method (p = 0.05). The coefficients of variation around the mean number of living offspring produced per parent in the control and the test groups were evaluated.
The EC10- and the EC50-value for the reduction of the reproductive output and the EC100-value for the adult mortality after 21 days was deduced directly from the observation data. The EC10- and the EC50-value for the adult mortality was calculated by sigmoidal dose-response regression with the software GraphPad prism5. The lowest concentration level causing 100 % adult mortality and the highest concentration level causing no adult mortality were used as confidence limits for the EC50-value, because only one partial effect was observed.

- Based on the significant increase and reduction of the reproductive output at the nominal concentrations of 100, 200 and 400 mg/L, the No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) after 21 days was assessed at 50.0 mg/L and the Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC) was assessed at 100 mg/L.
The EC10 for the reduction of the reproductive output was assessed to be in the range of 100 – 200 mg/L. The EC50 was assessed to be in the range of 200 – 400 mg/L.
The test item induced biologically significant adult mortality of 40 % at the concentration level of 200 mg/L and 100 % at the concentration level of 400 mg/L during the test period of 21 days. In the concentration levels of 25.0 to 100 mg/L and in the control, all parental daphnids survived until the end of the test after 21 days.
The EC10 for the adult mortality was calculated by sigmoidal dose-response regression to be 190 mg/L (95 % confidence limits: Not applicable). The EC50 for the adult mortality was calculated accordingly to be 202 mg/L (95 % confidence limits: 100 – 400 mg/L). The EC100 for the adult mortality was 400 mg/L.

The Daphnia magna Reproduction Test (semi-static, 21 d) of the test item C8/C10-Glucamide AC93/13 (batch number: AC93/13) was conducted according to OECD 211 (2012) from 2013-11-06 to 2013-11-29, with the definitive exposure phase from 2013-11-06 to 2013-11-27, at Dr.U.Noack-Laboratorien, Käthe-Paulus-Str.1, 31157 Sarstedt, Germany.
Test species wasDaphnia magna STRAUS (Clone 5). Ten daphnids, individually held, were used per concentration level, and control. At test start the daphnids were 2 to 24 hours old. The study was carried out undersemi-static conditions with renewal of the test solutions three times per week. Aim of the Daphnia Reproduction Test over 21 days was to assess effects on the reproduction capacity and other test item-related effects or parameters such as time of production of first brood, adult mortality, intrinsic rate of natural increase, occurrence of aborted eggs and stillborn juveniles and body length of the parental daphnids.
Nominal concentrations of the test item C8/C10-Glucamide AC93/13 were selected as follows: 25.0–50.0–100–200–400 mg/L.
The test item C8/C10-Glucamide AC93/13 was analytically verified via LC-MS/MS at the start of the exposure intervals on days 0, 9, 14 (0 h) and at the end of the exposure intervals on days 2, 12, 16 (48 or 72 h) in all concentration levels and the control.
The measured concentrations of the C8 fraction of the test item at the start of the exposure intervals (0 h) were in the range of 92 to 111 % of the nominal values. The measured concentration of the C10 fraction of the test item at the start of the exposure intervals (0 h) were in the range of 84 to 108 % of the nominal values.
The measured concentrations of theC8 fraction of the test item at the end of the exposure intervals (48 or 72 h) were in the range of 85 to 114 % of the nominal values. The measured concentration of the C10 fraction of the test item at the end of the exposure intervals (48 or 72 h) were in the range of 84 to 105 % of the nominal values.
The measured concentrations of the C8 and the C10 fraction of the test item C8/C10-Glucamide AC93/13 were within ± 20 % of the nominal values, indicating that the concentrations of the test item C8/C10-Glucamide AC93/13 were successfully maintained for the duration of the test. Therefore, the nominal concentrations of the test item C8/C10-Glucamide AC93/13 were used for assessment of the effect levels.
Based on the significant increase and reduction of the reproductive output
at the nominal concentration of 100, 200 and 400 mg/L,
the No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) after 21 days was assessed at 50.0 mg/L
and the Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC) was assessed at 100 mg/L.
· The average number of living juveniles per surviving parental daphnid at the end of the test after 21 days was 89 in the control group. The reproductive output was statistically significant increased at the concentration level of 100 mg/L and statistically significant reduced at the concentration level of 200 mg/L in comparison to the reproductive output in the control (One Way Analysis of Variance,Dunnett’smethod, p = 0.05).
At the concentration level of 400 mg/L, all daphnids died before producing juveniles. At all other concentration levels, the reproductive output was comparable to the reproductive output at the control.The EC10for the reduction of the reproductive output was assessed to be in the range of 100 – 200 mg/L. The EC50was assessed to be in the range of 200 – 400 mg/L.
· The coefficient of variation of thenumber of living offspring produced per parental daphnid was 11 % in the control. At the concentration levels of 25.0 to 100 mg/L, the coefficient of variation was in the range of 10 to 15 %. The coefficient of variation of 46 % at the concentration level of 200 mg/L is regarded to be biologically significant .Generally in a well-run test, the coefficient of variation around the mean number of living offspring per parent animal should be ≤ 25 %.
· The test item induced biologically significant adult mortality of 40 % at the concentration level of 200 mg/L and 100 % at the concentration level of 400 mg/L during the test period of 21 days.In the concentration levels of 25.0 to 100 mg/L and in the control, all parental daphnids survived until the end of the test after 21 days.
The EC10for the adult mortality was calculated by sigmoidal dose-response regression to be 190 mg/L (95 % confidence limits: Not applicable). The EC50for the adult mortality was calculated accordingly to be 202 mg/L (95 % confidence limits: 100 – 400 mg/L). The EC100for the adult mortality was 400 mg/L.· No stillborn juveniles or aborted eggs were observed in the control and in the concentration level of 25.0 mg/L during the exposure period of 21 days. Related to the total number of produced juveniles (dead + alive) the percentage of dead juveniles was 1 % in the concentration level of 50.0 mg/L and 2 % in the concentration level of 100 mg/L. At the concentration level of 200 mg/L, the percentage of dead juveniles was 42 % in relation to the total number of produced juveniles (dead + alive), which is statistically significant in comparison to the control (Kruskal-WallisOne Way Analysis of Variance on Ranks,Dunn’smethod, p = 0.05). At the concentration level of 400 mg/L, all daphnids died before producing juveniles.
· The intrinsic rates of natural increase (IR) of the surviving parental daphnids accounting for generation time and number of offspring were used for calculation of population growth and maintenance.
· The first brood was released between days 8 and 11 by all parental daphnids of the control and the concentration levels of 25.0 to 100 mg/L. At the concentration level of 200 mg/L, the first brood was released between days 11 and 16, which is delayed in comparison to the control group.
At the tested concentration levels of 25.0 to 50.0 mg/L and in the control, 4 broods were produced by the surviving parental daphnids. At the concentration level of 100 mg/L, one of ten surviving parental daphnids produced five broods and nine of ten surviving parental daphnids produced four broods. At the concentration level of 200 mg/L, one of six surviving parental daphnids produced only three broods and five of six surviving parental daphnids produced four broods. At the concentration level of 400 mg/L, all daphnids died before producing juveniles.· The mean values of the body length of the surviving parental daphnids in the tested concentration levels of 25.0 to 200 mg/L were determined to be in the range of 5.23 to 5.40 mm per daphnid and 5.13 mm per daphnid in the control group.
The mean dry body weight of the surviving parental daphnids was determined to be in the range of 0.57 to 0.81 mg per daphnid in the concentration levels of 25.0 to 200 mg/L and 0.63 mg per daphnid in the control.
· No males or ephippia (winter eggs) were observed in the control or in the test groups.
· Water quality parameters (i.e. pH-value, dissolved oxygen concentration, total water hardness and temperature) were within the acceptable limits.
· In order to prove the validity of the test system and test conditions at the test facility, an acute immobilisation test according to AQS P 9/2 (02/2000) and OECD 202 is monthly carried out with potassium dichromate as reference item.
The EC50of the reference item was 2.1 mg/L (95% confidence limits: 1.8 - 2.4 mg/L) after 24 hours and therefore within the prescribed concentration range of 0.6 - 2.4 mg/L of quality criteria according to AQS P 9/2 (02/2000) for daphnids clone 5 cultured in Elendt M4 medium. The EC50-value of the reference item is also within the recommended range of 0.6 - 2.1 mg/L according to OECD-Guideline 202.
