Materials and methods
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The test was started with fish 4 week post hatch and was performed for 42 days under flow through conditions.
Tests were conducted at the Procter & Gamble Experimental Stream Facility (ESF) located approximately 25 km from Cincinnati, Ohio, on the Lower East Fork of the Little Miami River.
Tests were conducted in flow through aquaria drawing water from experimental stream channels.
Aquaria and cages held 10 and 5 individuals of each species tested, respectively. Triplicate aquaria, 75 L in volume, drew water from each of 6 streams by peristaltic pumps. Test species were separated by subdivisions in each aquaria. In-flow to each aquarium was on the opposite end of the out-flow standpipe thereby ensuring mixing.
Fish (7 d post hatch) were obtained from stock cultures at Virginia Tech (Dr. John Lauth, Department of Biology, Blacksburg, Virginia) and were 4 wk post hatch at the beginning of the test.
Dietary needs for all test organisms were met by food carried by stream waters.
Endpoints measured included mortality, length and biomass at test termination. - GLP compliance:

Fathead minnows in aquaria were not adversely affected at any AS concentration. In fact, fish in aquaria drawing water from AS amended streams reached a final dry weight of 44.5 +- 0.6 mg/individual at 1357 µg AS/L versus 16.5 +- 0.7 mg/individual in the controls. Increases were exposure concentration dependent (p < 0.001).
Survival was not impaired at any concentration. A potential link with the microbial community may be present with more food resources available in AS exposed aquaria. Clearly AS was not toxic to fish at mg/L levels.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Executive summary:
Belanger et al. (1995) study tested the effects of the test substance in a juvenile fish growth test using Pimephales promelas as test organism. Juvenils (4 weeks old) were exposed over a test period of 42 days to the test substance in a flow-through system using river water. Mortality as well as growth (weight) were recorded. No adverse effects were observed after 42 days of exposure to up to the higest tested concentration of 1.36 mg/L. Thus the 42d-NOEC value is determined to be >= 1.36 mg/L based on measured concentrations.
During 42 days of exposure under flow-through conditions, Fathead minnows in aquaria were not adversely affected at any C12 -AS concentration. In fact, fish in aquaria drawing water from C12 -AS amended streams reached a final dry weight of 44.5 +- 0.6 mg/individual at 1357 µg AS/L versus 16.5 +- 0.7 mg/individual in the controls. Increases were exposure concentration dependent (p < 0.001).
Survival was not impaired at any concentration. A potential link with the microbial community may be present with more food resources available in AS exposed aquaria. Clearly AS was not toxic to fish at mg/L levels.
