Short-term toxicity to fish
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- short-term toxicity to fish
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- Guideline study conducted under GLP. Exposure concentrations, measured on the basis of total Sn and converted to and reported as the test substance [MMT(2-EHTG)] using the conversion factor [743.7/118.71] consisting of the Mol weights of the test substance and Sn, respectively. This approach includes more water-soluble tin impurities and hydrolysis products. All measured Sn was attributed to the named substance. The preparation of the WAF allowed both a solubilized portion of the test substance and the hydrolysis products to be present in the study. Only the control and the 2 highest exposure concentrations (56 and 100% of the WAF) were measured for total Sn content, as these higher concentrations were considered essential for the determination of toxicity. The 100% WAF was slightly hazy throughout the test period. No test substance film or precipitate were observed. Exposure concentrations were not stable, and exposure concentrations were not maintained at or above 80% of the initial concentration during the 24 h replacement periods. Analytical repeatability was very low due to the low solubility of the named substance. This is not unexpected given the low water solubility of the named substance and its instability in water.
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 203 (Fish, Acute Toxicity Test)
- Deviations:
- yes
- Remarks:
- The temperature measured in the test solutions during the test period was occasionally below the lowest concentration of the optimal range as prescribed by the protocol (i.e. between 21 and 25 degrees C). However, this decrease was only marginal, i.e. n
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method C.1 (Acute Toxicity for Fish)
- Deviations:
- yes
- Remarks:
- The separation of the WAF differed from what was prescribed by the protocol as a consequence of practical problems regarding the relatively high test volumes. Glass aquarium tanks were used for in-between separation and the stabilization period was half
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes

- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: Preparation of the test solutions started with a dispersion of the stock solution in test medium at a nominal loading of 100 mg/L. The dispersion was stirred for approximately 24 hours applying either a magnetic stirrer (combined limit/range-finding test) or an ultra thurrax (final test), after which it was left to satbilise for approximately one hour (range-finding) or half an hour (final test). Subsequently, the water fraction was separated from the undissolved fraction of test substance by means of siphoning into a separation funnel or a glass aquarium. After another short stabilisation period in the separaition funnel or glass aquarium, the Water Accomodated Fraction (WAF) was collected for use in the test. The lower test concentrations were prepared by subsequent dilution of the WAF in test medium. All test vessels were pre-conditioned for 30 minutes with approximately 1 litre of the corresponding test solutions prior to the start of the test. Test solutions were daily renewed according to the above procedure

TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Spacing factor for test concentrations: the concentration range has to cover at least one concentration causing no mortality, one or more concentrations causing 10-90 % mortality and one concentration causing 100% mortality.
- Range finding study- combined limit test/ range-finding study
- Test concentrations: 0.1, 1.0, and 10% of the WAF prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/L
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: The analytical results could not be relied upon because of tin contamination in the control samples and were therefore rejected. Some effects were observed, but these could not reliably be attributed to either contamination and/or toxicity cause by the test substance concentrations. Consequently, the final test was carried out as a concentration series. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Executive summary:
A 96 -hour acute toxicity study in zebra-fish was performed in accordance with OECD guideline number 203. Water accommodated fractions were prepared for testing. Fish were exposed to test groups corresponding to 10, 18, 32, 56 and 100 % of a WAF prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/L. Samples for analytical confirmation of actual exposure concentrations were taken from freshly prepared solutions at t = 0 h and t = 72 h and from 24 h old solutions at t = 24 h and t = 96 h. The test substance induced no visible effects in zebra fish at or below a concentration containing 56 % of a WAF. Based on average measured concentrations the NOEC corresponded to 3.6 mg/L. The 96-h LC50 for zebrafish exposed was above a WAF prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/L. Based on average measured concentrations this corresponded to a 96-h LC50 of >6.0 mg/L.

Additional information
In an OECD 203 acute toxicity study, zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) were exposed for 96 hours to the test substance. No visible effects were induced at or below a concentration containing 56 % of a water accommodated fraction (WAF) prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/L. Based on average measured concentrations the NOEC corresponds to 3.6 mg/L. The 96 -hr LC50 was above a WAF prepared at a loading rate of 100 mg/L. Based on average measured concentrations this corresponded to a 96 -hr LC50 >6.0 mg/L.
