- Executive summary:
Short term toxicity to fish was conducted for 96 hrs for assessing the effect of test chemical. The test was performed in accordance to OECD guideline No. 203 “Fish Acute Toxicity Test”.

Test fishes were kept in a static tank in tap water passed through reverse osmosis system, under natural conditions along with proper feed and aeration. During the housing period, test fishes were fed once daily with standard brand fed. The test conditions during the housing of the test organisms were oxygen content of 7.8 mg/l, pH 7.4, water temperature 23.5°C and under a photoperiod of 16:8 hr light: dark conditions, respectively. Test concentrations selected for the study was 100 mg/L, respectively. Thus, limit test was perfromed. Total 8 fishes were exposed to test chemical in a 5 lit bowl aquaria containing 4 liters of potable water. The test vessels were placed in a room at a temperature of 24.3°C, pH 7.4, hardness of water 148.5 mg of CaCO3 and under a photoperiod of 16:8 hr light: dark conditions, respectively. Aeration in test vessels was provided 1 day before the start of the experiment. No mortalities were observed in the control vessel. Test fishes were moving slowly as compared to control. On the basis of effect of test chemical on mortality of the test organism, the LC0 and median lethal concentration (LC50 (96 h)) was determined to be 100 mg/l and >100 mg/L, respectively. Thus, based on the LC50 value, test chemical was considered to be non-toxic to aquatic fishes at environmental relevant concentrations and hence, considered to be classified 'not classified' as per the CLP classification criteria.

Additional information
Experimental study of the test chemical and various supporting studies of its structurally and functionally similar read across chemical has been reviewed for short term toxicity to fish endpoint. The studies were mentioned below:
In an experimental study from study report, short term toxicity to fish was conducted for 96 hrs for assessing the effect of test chemical. The test was performed in accordance to OECD guideline No. 203 “Fish Acute Toxicity Test”. Zebra fish (Danio rerio) of average weight 0.1204g and average length of 1.79 cm was used as a test organism for the study. Test fishes were kept in a static tank in tap water passed through reverse osmosis system, under natural conditions along with proper feed and aeration. During the housing period, test fishes were fed once daily with standard brand fed. The test conditions during the housing of the test organisms were oxygen content of 7.8 mg/l, pH 7.4, water temperature 23.5°C and under a photoperiod of 16:8 hr light: dark conditions, respectively. Test concentrations selected for the study was 100 mg/L, respectively. Thus, limit test was perfromed. Total 8 fishes were exposed to test chemical in a 5 lit bowl aquaria containing 4 liters of potable water. The test vessels were placed in a room at a temperature of 24.3°C, pH 7.4, hardness of water 148.5 mg of CaCO3 and under a photoperiod of 16:8 hr light: dark conditions, respectively. Aeration in test vessels was provided 1 day before the start of the experiment. No mortalities were observed in the control vessel. Test fishes were moving slowly as compared to control. On the basis of effect of test chemical on mortality of the test organism, the LC0 and median lethal concentration (LC50 (96 h)) was determined to be 100 mg/l and >100 mg/L, respectively.
Another short term toxicity to fish was conducted for 96 hrs for assessing the effect of test chemical. The test was performed in accordance to OECD guideline No. 203 “Fish Acute Toxicity Test” (Study report). Zebra fish (Danio rerio) of average weight 0.18 g and average length of 3.18 cm was used as a test organism for the study. Test fishes were kept in a static tank in tap water passed through reverse osmosis system, under natural conditions along with proper feed and aeration. During the housing period, test fishes were fed once daily with standard brand fed. The test conditions during the housing of the test organisms were oxygen content of 7.2 mg/l, pH 8.12, water temperature 24°C and under a photoperiod of 16:8 hr light: dark conditions, respectively. Test concentrations selected for the study was 100 mg/L, respectively. Thus, limit test was performed. Total 8 fishes were exposed to test chemical in a 5 lit bowl aquaria containing 4 liters of potable water. The test vessels were placed in a room at a temperature of 24.6°C, pH 7.98, hardness of water 142.5 mg of CaCO3 and under a photoperiod of 16:8 hr light: dark conditions, respectively. Aeration in test vessels was provided 1 day before the start of the experiment. No mortalities were observed in the control vessel. Test fishes were moving slowly as compared to control. On the basis of effect of test chemical on mortality of the test organism, the LC0 and median lethal concentration (LC50 (96 h)) was determined to be 100 mg/l and >100 mg/L, respectively.
For the test chemical from authoritative databases and secondary source, short term toxicity to fish study was conducted for 96 hrs for assessing the effect of test chemical. Oncorhynchus mykiss (Rainbow trout) (Juvenile) of 3.5 months old, 4.2 cm in length and 0.7 gm of weight was used as a test organism. The study was performed under static conditions at a temperature of 14°C for 96 hrs. On the basis of the effect of test chemical on mortality of test fishes, the 96 hr median lethal concentration (LC50) value was determined to be 412 mg/l.
On the basis of the above results, it can be concluded that the test chemicalwas considered to be non-toxic to aquatic fishesand hence, considered to be classified ‘not classified’ as per the CLP classification criteria.
