- Method of breeding: cultured in 600-mL glass beakers containing 500 mL of reconstituted water. Each vessel and its contents is considered a 'culture'. New cultures were started with D. magna less than 24 hours old, at a density of about 20 per litre.
- Feeding during test

- Source/preparation of dilution water: reconsituted freshwater prepared by mixing treated mains water and a proprietary mineral water in the ratio 1:1
* treated mains dilution water: laboratory main supply. The water is pumped to the laboratory via a Purite AC9 activated carbon filter and a Purite ROPF 20 particulate filter.
* proprietary mineral water: Ashbourne, Still Natural Water (Nestle UK Ltd.)
- Water parameters measured: see table 1
- Culture medium different from test medium: no
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH: no
- Photoperiod: 16 h light : 8 hours dark
- Light intensity: fluorescent lighting
MONITORING:
- pH, temperature and concentration of dissolved oxygen determined in each test medium at the start and end of each exposure period
- total hardness and alkalinity of control determined at the start and end of each exposure period
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
- immobilisation: D. magna were considered to be immobile if, when the contents of the test vessel were briefly swirled, they did not swim during a 15 second period of observation.
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Spacing factor for test concentrations: not applicable
- Justification for using less concentrations than requested by guideline: a combined limit and range-finding test was performed and resulted in no immobility to D. magna after a 48 h exposure period. Therefore, no definitive test was performed and only results of limit test are reported.
- Range finding study: results not reported - Reference substance (positive control):
- no
- Duration:
- 24 h
- Dose descriptor:
- EC50
- Effect conc.:
- > 0.2 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- mobility
- Duration:
- 48 h
- Dose descriptor:
- EC50
- Effect conc.:
- > 0.2 mg/L
- Nominal / measured:
- nominal
- Conc. based on:
- test mat.
- Basis for effect:
- mobility
- Details on results:
- no abnormalities observed
- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- not applicable
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Reliable study (Klimisch 1) reporting EC50 > 0.2 mg/L for Daphnia magna. Test circumstances showed no deviations from the OECD test protocol.
Reference
Results of the study are based on nominal concentrations because determination of test substance in test media was not possible.
The lowest concentration causing 100 % immobilisation was not determined and the highest concentration causing no immobilisation was 0.2 mg/L.
Description of key information
One GLP study was presented.
The Covance study conducted a guideline study (OECD 202/EC C.2) by exposing Daphnia magna for 48h in a semi-static limit test to a nominal concentration of 0.2 mg/L of Wingstay L-HLS. The EC50 was >0.2 mg/L and the NOEC was 0.2 mg/L, based on nominal concentrations.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Fresh water invertebrates
Fresh water invertebrates
- Effect concentration:
- 0.2 mg/L
Additional information
Due to the low water solubility, the test substance in the Covance study was first dissolved in methanol (20 and 2 g/L stock solutions) and then used in the test medium to obtain a nominal concentration of 0.2 mg/L. No undissolved material was present. The concentrations in the stock solutions were measured and were 92 -103% of nominal.
No immobilisation occurred and no other effects were observed. It can be concluded that the substance does not cause any adverse effects to Daphnia magna at concentrations which are higher than its water solubility.
