Additional information
A study was conducted to determine the lethal effects of castor oil to the Zebra-fish (Brachydanio rerio) using a static system according to the OECD Guideline 203. Fish were exposed in separate test batches to different concentration (100 and 1000 mg/L)of the test material in the test medium over a test period of 96 h (each tank with 10 fish). Observations were made at 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h for the mortality rates, abnormal symptoms in the swimming behaviour, in visible physiological functions as well as in the outward appearance of the test fish. Fish were considered dead if touching of the caudal peduncle produced no reaction and if no breathing movements could be observed. Under the test conditions, the 96 h LC0 for (Brachydanio rerio) was determined to be 1,000 mg/L based on nominal concentrations (Dommrose, 1988).
A study was conducted to evaluate lethal effects of linseed oil to Zebra fish (Brachydanio rerio). The test was carried out according to OECD Guideline 203. Fish were exposed in separate test batches to different concentration (100 and 1,000 mg/L)of the test material in the test medium over a test period of 96 h (each tank with 10 fish). The observations were made at 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h for mortality , abnormal symptoms in the swimming behaviour, in visible physiological functions as well as in the outward appearance of the test fish. Fish were considered dead if touching of the caudal peduncle produced no reaction and if no breathing movements could be observed. Under the test conditions, the 96 h LC0 for linseed oil in Brachydanio rerio was determined to be 1,000 mg/L based on nominal concentrations (Dommrose, 1988).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
