Details on test organisms:

METHOD FOR PREPARATION AND COLLECTION OF EARLY INSTARS OR OTHER LIFE STAGES:TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Daphnia magna
- Strain/clone: N/A
- Justification for species other than prescribed by test guideline: N/A
- Source: In house laboratory cultures
- Age of parental stock (mean and range, SD):
- Feeding during test
- Food type: algal suspension and a GM300 suspension

Adult daphnids were maintained in 150 mL glass beakers containing 100 mL Elendt M7 medium (see Annex 2) in a temperature controlled room maintaining the water temperature at 18 to 22 °C. The lighting cycle was controlled to give a 16 hours light and 8 hours darkness cycle with 20 minute dawn and dusk transition periods. Each culture was fed daily with a mixture of algal suspension (Desmodesmus subspicatus) and GM300 suspension. Culture conditions ensured that reproduction was by parthenogenesis. Gravid adults were isolated the day before initiation of the test, such that the young daphnids produced overnight were less than 24 hours old. These young were removed from the cultures and used for testing. The diet and diluent water are considered not to contain any contaminant that would affect the integrity or outcome of the study.

Details on results:

Sub-Lethal Effects:
Sub-lethal effects of exposure were observed in the 0.10, 0.32 and 1.0 mg/L test preparations.
These responses were reduced mobility, pale, and trapping at surface.

Results with reference substance (positive control):

Positive Control

A positive control (Envigo study number LK67NP) used potassium dichromate as the reference item at concentrations of 0.32, 0.56, 1.0, 1.8 and 3.2 mg/L.

Exposure conditions for the positive control were similar to those in the definitive test.

Analysis of the immobilization data was carried out using the Trimmed Spearman-Karber method at 24 hours and the Binomial Distribution method at 48 hours. All statistical analysis was carried out using the ToxRat Professional computer software package with results based on the nominal test concentrations and gave the following results:

Time Point EC50 95% Confidence Limits NOEC LOEC
(Hours) (mg/L) (mg/L) (mg/L) (mg/L)

24 0.79 0.73 - 0.86 0.56 1.0

48 0.75 0.56 - 1.0 0.56 1.0



The NOEC is based upon equal to or less than 10% immobilization at this concentration.

The results from the positive control with potassium dichromate were within the normal range for this reference item*.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the test item to Daphnia magna. The method followed was designed to be compatible with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (April 2004) No 202, "Daphnia sp., Acute Immobilisation Test" referenced as Method C.2 of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008.
Analysis of the freshly prepared test preparations at 0 and 24 hours showed measured test concentrations to range from 96% to 110% of nominal
. There was no significant decline in the corresponding old or expired test preparations at 24 and 48 hours (88% to 99% of nominal) and so results are based on nominal test concentrations only.

Executive summary:

Exposure of Daphnia magna to the test item gave the following results:

Time point (hours)	EC50 (mg/L)	95% Confidence Limits (mg/L)	No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) (mg/L)	Lowest Observed Effect Concentration (LOEC) (mg/L)
48	0.52	Not determined due to nature of data	0.32	1.0
