TEST PREPARATION
A nominal amount of test item (100 mg) was dissolved in test water and the volume adjusted to 1 liter to give a 100 mg/L stock solution. An aliquot (780 mL) of this stock solution was dispersed in a final volume of 20 liters of test water to give the required test concentration of 3.9 mg/L.
The stock solution was inverted several times to ensure adequate mixing and homogeneity. The 3.9 mg/L test preparation was stirred with a flat bladed mixer for approximately 1 minute to ensure adequate mixing and homogeneity.
The concentration and stability of the test item in the test preparations were verified by chemical analysis at 0, 24, 72 and 96 hours. - Reference substance (positive control):

- There were no mortality and no sub lethal effects of exposure observed in the test.
Sub-Lethal Effects: There were no sub lethal effects of exposure observed in the test.
Validation Criteria: The test was considered to be valid given that none of the control fish died or showed signs of stress during the test and that the oxygen concentration at the end of the test was equal to or greater than 60% of ASV in the control and test vessels.
An estimate of the LC50 values was given by inspection of the mortality data.

- Executive summary:
Introduction
A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the test item to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The method followed was designed to be compatible with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (1992) No 203, "Fish, Acute Toxicity Test" referenced as Method C.1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008.
Methods
In accordance with the recommendations of REACh, the test was conducted according to the new threshold approach recommended by ECHA, rather than the traditional OECD 203 approach of using a range of test concentrations. When using this new threshold approach, the lowest EC50 value from either the Algal Growth Inhibition study or Acute Toxicity to Daphnia magna study is set as a provisional threshold concentration, and a sensitivity “Limit test” is then conducted at this threshold concentration. If no mortalities are observed this indicates that fish are not the most sensitive species and that the LC50 value is greater than the provisional threshold concentration. If, however, one or more fish from the test group die, the threshold test is terminated and a repeat test is conducted. The repeat test then follows the traditional OECD 203 approach of using a range of test concentrations to determine an EC50 value. The EC50 value obtained from the Acute Toxicity to Daphnia magna test (Covance Study Number YC81RJ) was the lowest of these two EC50 values, and hence this Acute Toxicity to Fish test was conducted at a single nominal concentration of 3.9 mg/L.
Seven fish were exposed to an aqueous solution of the test item, at a single nominal concentration of 3.9 mg/L for a period of 96 hours at a temperature of 13 ºC to 14 °C under semi-static test conditions. The number of mortalities and any sub-lethal effects of exposure in each test and control vessel were determined 1, 3 and 6 hours after the start of exposure and then daily throughout the test until termination after 96 hours.
Results
Chemical analysis of the freshly prepared test solutions at 0 and 72 hours, and of the corresponding old or expired test solutions at 24 and 96 hours showed measured test concentrations to range from 82% to 100% of nominal and as such the results are based on the nominal test concentration only.
Exposure of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to the test item gave an LC50 value based on the nominal test concentration of greater than 3.9 mg/L. The No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) was 3.9 mg/L.
