Test criterion was the immobilisation of animals. The animals were counted as immobile, when they were not able to swim within 15 seconds after gentle agitation of the test container.

- Mortality of control: none
- Other adverse effects control: none
- Immobilisation of control: none - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The concentration of test substance estimated to immobilize 50% of the test population (EC50) with the 95% confidence limits was determined for each evaluation time using a computerized calculation program (Stephan, C.E., 1982). This program employs the binomial probability, moving average and probit method for the calculation. The results of the method giving the
narrowest confidence limits for the EC50 was selected for this report.
At the end of testing the concentration-effect relationship was plotted for the 24 h determination using a computer program (Microsoft® Excel, Vers. 5.0).
Mean values with standard deviation were determined for all measured physical and chemical parameters. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The substance is toxic to dahnids under the conditions of this study.
- Executive summary:
An experimental study according to the guideline EPA-660/3-75-009 and GLP regulations was conducted to assess the acute toxicity of the test item to aquatic invertebrates in freshwater. Daphnia magna was exposed to 3.2, 5.6, 10, 18, 32, 56, 100 mg/L (nominal concentration, based on test material) for 48 h in a static system. The measured concentrations were 2.38, 4.54, 8.60, 13.60, 24.59, 50.46 and 88.51 mg/L (based on the active ingredients). Per test vessel 10 daphnids in the age of 0-24 h (initial age) were exposed in two replicates. Only for the highest concentration 6 vessels with 10 daphnids were used. For the measurements of physical and chemical parameters one replicate was prepared of the untreated control, the high, medium and low concentrations in order to avoid stress to the daphnids by performing the measurements. After 48 h an EC50 of 9.1 mg/L and a NOEC of 5.6 mg/L was determined. No unforeseen circumstances were observed which may have affected the quality or integrity of this study and the validity criteria were fullfilled.

To assess the acute toxixity of the test item to marine aquatic invertebrates, an experimental study according to the guideline EPA OTS 797.1930 and GLP regulations was conducted Mysidopsis bahia was exposed to the nominal concentrations 0.484, 0.969, 1.94, 3.88, and 7.75 mg/L in a flow through system for 96 h. 10 juvenil mysids (under 24 h old) were randomly picked from the acclimated stock culture for each test vessel. Duplicates were used for every concentration. After 96 h an EC50 of 1.79 mg/L was determined and a NOEC of 0.46 mg/L.
These resluts indicate an acute toxicity of the test item to aquatic invertebrates in freshwater and marine systems.
