- Details on sampling:
- For the analysis of the actual test item concentrations the following samples were taken
just before test start:

- duplicate samples from the control
after 48 and 96 hours:
- duplicate samples from the test medium (stability samples)
- duplicate samples from the control
All samples were taken from the approximate center of the aquaria without mixing the test medium, and were deep-frozen (at about -20 ºC) immediately after sampling. Based on pre-experiments for investigation of the storage stability the test item is sufficiently stable in the test water under the storage conditions. The concentration of the test item was analytically measured in the duplicate test medium samples of the single test concentration taken at the start and the end of the test. From the control, one of the duplicate samples was analyzed from each of the sampling times. - Vehicle:

The test medium was freshly prepared just before introduction of the fish (= start of the test). - Test organisms (species):

- pH:
- The pH values in the test medium and the control were between 7.3 and 7.4.
- Dissolved oxygen:
- The oxygen concentration was always 8.5 mg/L or higher, and thus higher than 60% oxygen saturation.
- Salinity:
- Reconstituted water: analytical grade salts were dissolved in deionized water to obtain the following nominal concentrations:
CaCl2 × 2H2O : 1.00 mmol/L (= 147 mg/L)
MgSO4 × 7H2O : 0.25 mmol/L (= 61.5 mg/L)

Mean measured test item concentration of 93 mg/L. - Details on test conditions:

- Test vessel: One glass aquarium with 5 liters test medium was used for each treatment (the single test concentration and the control).
- No. of organisms per vessel: 7 fish
- No. of vessels per concentration (replicates): One
- No. of vessels per control (replicates): One
TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: Reconstituted water: analytical grade salts were dissolved in deionized water
- Intervals of water quality measurement: The water temperature, pH-values and dissolved oxygen concentrations were measured at the start of the test and once every day during the test in the single test concentration and in the control.
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Photoperiod: Since the test item is not stable under light conditions, the test was performed as far as possible in the dark to avoid photolytic degradation of the test item.
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) : The test fish were observed after approximately 2, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours test duration for mortality and visible abnormalities. - Reference substance (positive control):
- no
- Key result
- Duration:
- 96 h
- Dose descriptor:
- NOEC
- Effect conc.:
- >= 100 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Basis for effect:
- mortality (fish)
- Remarks:
- All fishes survived.
- Duration:
- 96 h
- Dose descriptor:
- LC0
- Effect conc.:
- >= 93 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- meas. (arithm. mean)
- Basis for effect:
- mortality (fish)
- Remarks:
- All fishes survived.
- Details on results:
- In the control and in the test medium with the nominal concentration of 100 mg/L (mean measured concentration of 93 mg/L) all fish survived until the end of the test and no visible abnormalities were observed at the test fish.
- Sublethal observations / clinical signs:
At the start of the test, the analytically determined test item concentration in the analyzed test medium was 94% of the nominal value, proving a correct dosage of the test item. During the test period of 96 hours, a slight decrease of the test item concentration in the test medium was determined. At the end of the test, 90% of the nominal value was found. Photolytic degradation could be minimized by reduction of the light intensity. The mean measured test concentration (calculated as the geometric mean over all measurements of the test concentration) was 93 mg/L (i.e., 93% of the nominal value).
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- (mortality in control was 0%; constant conditions were maintained; the dissolved oxygen concentration was within the the acceptable range; the concentrations were maintained during the test).
- Conclusions:
- The 96-hour NOEC and the 96-hour LC0 of the test item to zebra fish were determined to be at least the nominal concentration of 100 mg/L (mean measured concentration of 93 mg/L). The 96-hour NOEC and the 96-hour LC0 might even be higher than this concentration, but nominal concentrations in excess of 100 mg/L have not been tested, according to the guidelines.
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of the test item to zebra fish (Brachydanio rerio) was determined according to the EU Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, Part C.1 (1992), and the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 203 (1992). A limit test was performed in accordance with the guidelines to demonstrate that the test item has no toxic effect on the test organisms at the nominal concentration of 100 mg/L. Thus, a single test item concentration of nominal 100 mg/L was tested. Additionally, a control was tested in parallel (test water without addition of the test item). At the start of the test, the analytically determined test item concentration in the analyzed test medium was 94% of the nominal value, proving a correct dosage of the test item. During the test period of 96 hours, a slight decrease of the test item concentration in the test medium was determined. At the end of the test, 90% of the nominal value was found. Photolytic degradation could be minimized by reduction of the light intensity. The mean measured test concentration was 93 mg/L. The reported biological results are related both to the nominal and to the mean measured test item concentrations. In the control and in the test medium with the nominal concentration of 100 mg/L (mean measured concentration of 93 mg/L) no mortality or other visible abnormalities were determined at the test fish during the test period of 96 hours. Therefore, the 96-hour NOEC (highest concentration tested without toxic effects after the exposure period of 96 hours), and the 96-hour LC0 of the test item to zebra fish were determined to be at least the nominal concentration of 100 mg/L (mean measured concentration of 93 mg/L). The 96-hour NOEC and the 96-hour LC0 might even be higher than this concentration, but nominal concentrations in excess of 100 mg/L have not been tested, according to the guidelines.
