Validity criteria for acute daphnia immobilisation test according to OECD Guideline 202.

 

fulfilled

Not fullfilled

Immobilisation of control animals <10%

YES

 

Control animals not staying at the surface

YES

 

Concentration of dissolved oxygen in all test vessels >3 mg/l

YES

 

Concentration of test substance³80% of initial concentration during test

YES

 

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Remarks:
see above
Conclusions:
The test fulfilled the validity criteria. The test substance is not harmful to D. magna
Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of PAC in Daphnia magna was studied by means of a static test. 20 animals, divided over 4 replicates, were exposed to 500 mg/l PAC in aqueous 0.01% methylcellulose. Further 2 groups of 20 animals each one were exposed to water only or to the vehicle in water. The exposure lasted for 48 -hours. No immobility was observed. Therefore a concentration of 500 mg/L is a No Observed Effect Concentration.
