Details on results:
The fish showed changes in appearance and behavior, swimming behavior and respiration rate in the 2.2 - 10 mg/L groups during the entire exposure time. Effects in the 1 mg/L group were reversible within 72 hours of exposure.
Dead fish showed dark colored integument and red opercula.
The individual symptoms are given in the appendix of the study report

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
LC50 (96h) is 6.1 mg/L based on mean measured concentrations.
Executive summary:

The test material was tested in zebra fish (Brachydanio rerio) over 96 hours in a static system. The nominal concentrations tested were 1 ; 2.2; 5; 10 mg/L and a negative control (0 mg/L). All tested concentrations were present as clear solutions. All test batches were homogeneous. No particulate matter was observed. The substance concentration was determined in the 5 and 10 mg/L groups. The values determined were in a range of 77 - 98 % of the theoretical value and reveiled a slight decreasing tendency over the study period. The lethality values given in this report are based on mean measured concentrations. In this 96-hour acute toxicity study of the test material the following lethality values were determined based on mean measured concentrations:

24 h 48 h 72 h 96 h

LC50 [mg/L] 6.1 6.1 6.1 6.1
LC100 [mg/L] 9.2 9.2 9.2 9.2

Symptoms and lethality were observed at 10 mg/L. The 1 - 5 mg/L groups exhibited symptoms but no lethality.
