In group E decreased mobility was observed from 24 to 96 hours which was accompanied by loss of equilibrium between 48 and 96 hours. The fish in Group D displayed a slight decreased mobility between 24 and 96 hours. All other fish were inconspicuous in appearance and behaviour throughout the study.

Quality criteria
The following quality criteria were fulfilled:
· Constant conditions were maintained (temperature, pH).
· No mortality occurred in the negative control group.
· The dissolved oxygen concentration was higher than 60% of the air saturation value throughout the test.
· The for the LD50determination relevant test substance concentrations E and F have been satisfactorily maintained to within 80% of the initial concentration throughout the duration of the test. Nevertheless, due to the properties of the test substance, the measured concentration of the groups A to D decreased slightly to below of 80% of the initial starting concentration (maximum deviation 26 %). Therefore the actual concentrations are based on the geometric mean concentrations.

The acute toxicity of"3-HYDROXY-2-(HYDROXYMETHYL)-2-METHYLPROPIONALDEHYDE"toZebrafish (Danio rerio)was determined for regulatory purposes.
Regulation (EC) 440/2008: C.1. Acute Toxicity for Fish and OECD-Guideline 203, "Fish, acute toxicity test" (17thJuly 1992) were applied.
SevenZebrafish (Danio rerio), were exposed in each of the 6 test substance groups and in the control group.
The exposure of the Zebrafish was for 96 h in a semi-static test with renewal of test and control media after 24, 48 and 72 hours.
Mean actual test substance concentrations of 24.0, 51.6, 102.7, 207.7, 432.3 and 795.7 mg per litre dilution water were obtained by diluting the stock solutions prepared at the start of the test as well as at 24, 48 and 72 hours thereafter. The stock solutions were prepared by diluting the appropriate amount of test substance (6 % water content) in dilution water by stirring for 30 to 40 minutes.
The dilution water was local tap water which was mixed 1:1 with deionised water to achieve the appropriate water hardness as required by the guideline. Dilution water was also used for the negative control group.
LC50 96 h: 530 mg/L
LC100 96h: ca. 800 mg/L
LC0 96 h: ca. 430 mg/L
NOEC: 100 mg/L
