- loading: 20 fish per L
Reference substance (positive control):
no
Duration:
96 h
Dose descriptor:
LC50
Effect conc.:
395 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
mortality (fish)
Remarks on result:
other: CL: 354-439 mg/L
Details on results:
- Deaths observed at the nominal test concentrations of 184 and 283 mg/L were possibly due to handling at the onset of the test.
- Affected fish were hyperactive and lost equilibrium prior to death.
