- Endpoint:
- short-term toxicity to fish
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:

- Executive summary:
Method
The test has been performed fundamentally according to OECD Guideline 203 principle.
10 replicates of zebrafish between 4 -6 months age were exposed to the test substance for a period of 96 hours. The water in each basin was prepared according to ISO guidelines. Testing water was kept at a pH between 6 and 8.5 and O2 concentration ranged between 7.5 to 8.6 mg/L. The nominal concentrations of substance used for the test were: 1.0/3.0/10.0/30.0/100.0 mg/l.
Mortalities were recorded at 4, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours to determine the concentrations which kill 50 % of the fish (LC50) where possible.
Results
The LC50 observed at 96h was 2 mg/l.

Additional information
The assessment of short-term toxicity to fish of the substance under registration is based on two studies.
The key study (Huntsman, 1981) was conducted on zebrafish following a procedure similar to OECD 203. The purity of the substance was 56.78%. The tested concentrations were: 1.0/3.0/10.0/30.0/100.0 mg/l. The LC50 after 96 hours of exposure was 2 mg/l.
The supporting study (Huntsman, 1984) was performed with a lower purity of test article, 28%. The procedure was similar to OECD 203 guideline and the test system was zebrafish. The following concentrations of substance were tested: 1.0/3.0/10.0/30.0 mg/l. The LC50 calculated was 4 mg/l.
The two studies were performed according to similar procedures and using the same test substance; the results were similar but in the key study was used a test article with higher purity than the one used in the supporting study. The LC50 obtained in the key study, 2 mg/l, is little lower and more precautionary than the LC50 obtained in the supporting study, 4 mg/l.
