- Adjustment of pH: The test was performed without adjustment of pH and the pH was in the range of 7.17 to 8.14 during the test period.
- Photoperiod: Artificial light of white fluorescent lamp was used. The photoperiod was 14h light / 10h darkness.

- Executive summary:
The potential of the test material to cause acute toxicity to fish was determined in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 203 and other Chinese guidelines, under GLP conditions using Rare Minnow (Gobiocypris rarus) fish in a definitive test under semi-static test at 24 hour intervals.
The range-finding test showed that the 96h cumulative mortalities of test fish in the blank control and the test substance groups of 9.77, 31.2 and 100 mg/L were 0, 0, 0 and 80 %, respectively. Based on these results the definitive test was conducted as semi-static test at 24h intervals. Five nominal concentrations of 34.9, 50.2, 72.3, 104 and 150 mg/L test substance groups and a blank control group were selected. Actual concentrations were measured using HPLC.
The cumulative mortalities of 34.9, 50.2, 72.3, 104 and 150 mg/L test groups were respectively 14, 71, 100, 100 and 100 % at the end of the test. At 3 h after the start of the test, all test fish of the substance were observed to be normal. At 24 h, some fish died in the test groups of 50.2, 72.3, 104 and 150 mg/L, and some fish observed to be reduction of activity, overturn and loss of equilibrium, immobilised at the bottom and swimming at the bottom. At 48 h, all fish died in the test groups of 72.3, 104 and 150 mg/L. From 48 to 96 h, the fish alive in the 50.2 mg/L test group were performed reduction of activity. From the test period of 3 to 72h, all fish were normal in 34.9 mg/L test group, but one fish died and one fish overturned and showed loss of equilibrium at the end of the test.
The mortality of the control group was 0 % at the end of the test, which met the validity criterion that the mortality should be less than 10 %. The dissolved oxygen concentration in the test solutions ranged from 65 to 92 % of the air saturation value throughout the test, which met the criterion for the validity of the test. Potassium dichromate was used as a positive control reference substance to demonstrate the acceptability of the conditions of the assay.
Under the conditions of this study, the 96h-LC50 of the test material to Rare Minnow (Gobiocypris rarus) was 44.0 mg/L and the 95 % confidence limits ranged from 35.0 to 54.1 mg/L (based on the nominal concentration).

Additional information
The potential of the test material to cause acute toxicity to fish was determined in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 203 and other Chinese guidelines, under GLP conditions using Rare Minnow (Gobiocypris rarus) fish in a definitive test under semi-static test at 24 hour intervals. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
The range-finding test showed that the 96h cumulative mortalities of test fish in the blank control and the test substance groups of 9.77, 31.2 and 100mg/L were 0, 0, 0 and 80 %, respectively. Based on these results the definitive test was conducted as semi-static test at 24h intervals. Five nominal concentrations of 34.9, 50.2, 72.3, 104 and 150 mg/L test substance groups and a blank control group were selected. Concentrations were measured using HPLC in an analytical method.
The cumulative mortalities of 34.9, 50.2, 72.3, 104 and 150 mg/L test groups were respectively 14, 71, 100, 100 and 100 % at the end of the test. At 3 h after the start of the test, all test fish of the substance were observed to be normal. At 24 h, some fish died in the test groups of 50.2, 72.3, 104 and 150 mg/L, and some fish observed to be reduction of activity, overturn and loss of equilibrium, immobilised at the bottom and swimming at the bottom. At 48 h, all fish died in the test groups of 72.3, 104 and 150 mg/L. From 48 to 96 h, the fish alive in the 50.2 mg/L test group were performed reduction of activity. From the test period of 3 to 72h, all fish were normal in 34.9 mg/L test group, but one fish died and one fish overturned and showed loss of equilibrium at the end of the test.
The mortality of the control group was 0 % at the end of the test, which met the validity criterion that the mortality should be less than 10 %. The dissolved oxygen concentration in the test solutions ranged from 65 to 92 % of the air saturation value throughout the test, which met the criterion for the validity of the test. Potassium dichromate was used as a positive control reference substance to demonstrate the acceptability of the conditions of the assay.
Under the conditions of this study, the 96h-LC50 of the test material to Rare Minnow (Gobiocypris rarus) was 44.0 mg/L and the 95 % confidence limits ranged from 35.0 to 54.1mg/L (based on the nominal concentration).
