The 7 Fish were then exposed to the test solution in a static regime (no renewal) to the test solution for 96 hours.A control group using dilution water without the test item, treated in the same stirring manner was also conducted. Analysis of concentration of test item in test solution was measured at the start and end of the exposure by LC-MS/MS.
Mortality and visible abnormality were observed at 3, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after the start of exposure. A fish was considered as dead if the observable motion (motion of mouth and opercula etc.) were not observed and touching of the caudal peduncle with glass rod produced no reaction.
No mortality was observed in tested or control groups. No abnormal responses were observed.
Based on the study, LC50 of the test item for Medaka was >100 mg/L (nominal) or > 0.17 mg/L (Measured – geometric mean).

- Executive summary:
A sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus) test was performed to evaluate the acute toxicity of the Test Substance. The test was performed in a dispersion system. The dispersion system consists of 19.0L glass tanks containing 12cm long stainless steel cylinders (7.5cm diameter) in the center that house a stainless steel rod and propeller. The motorized stirrers were set at a speed in which an approximately one inch vortex was formed in each tank. The nominal treatment concentrations for the test were 10.0g/L, 5.0g/L, 2.5g/L, 1.25g/L, 0.625g/L and a laboratory dilution water control. Each treatment was prepared by adding the appropriate amount of test material to each replicate test tank. After allowing the test material to circulate through the dispersion system, samples were removed from each replicate for Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) analysis. The sheepshead minnows were exposed for a 96-hour period. No mortality occurred during the 96-hour test period; therefore the test material is not considered acutely toxic to sheepshead minnows for the specified period at the levels tested. LD50 is considered to be > 10 g/L
