Details on results:

- Behavioural abnormalities:
No abnormal responses of test fish were observed in the blank control and 25.0 mg/L, 35.4
mg/L test groups. The abnonnal responses of "immobilized at the bottom" and "activity at the surface" were observed in test fish of 50.0 mg/L test group; "reduction of activity", "lying at the bottom" and "activity at the surface" were observed in test fish of 70. 7 mg/L test group; "reduction of activity" was observed in test fish of 100 mg/L test group, and all test fish were died after 72 h of the start of test.

- Observations on body length and weight:
The average and standard deviation of body weight and length of the test fish are shown in Table 5. The average and standard deviation of body weight and total length of 7 test fish were 0.263 g ± 0.060 g and 30.60 mm ± 2.49 mm, respectively. So loading rate of fish in the test was 0.368 g fish / L, which met the requirement of ::::; 1.0 g fish / L and total length was within the range of 30 mm ± 10 mm.


- Other biological observations:

- Mortality of control:
The mortality of blank control was 0% at the end of the test

- Other adverse effects control:
No other adverse effects have been observed in the control.

- Abnormal responses:
No abnormal responses in the control are reported.

- Any observations (e.g. precipitation) that might cause a difference between measured and nominal values:
No observations (e.g. precipitation) that might cause a difference between measured and nominal values are reported.

- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium:
No.

Results with reference substance (positive control):

Sensitivity test of the reference substance K2Cr2O7 to Rare Minnow ( Gobiocypris rarus):
The test results showed that (the test was conducted on November 1, 2018), the 96 h -
LC50 of the reference substance (K2Cr2O7) to Rare Minnow (Gobiocypris rarus) was
206 mg/L and the 95% confidence limits ranged from 179 mg/L to 236 mg/L.

Reported statistics and error estimates:

Cumulative mortalities of each test group at 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h after the start of the test
were calculated. The LC50 values of test substance to Rare Minnow ( Gobiocypris rarus) at
24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h were calculated by Binomial Distribution (CT-TOX Multi-Method
Program, IBM PC Version 1.1), Trimmed Speannan Karber Method (US EPA data stat) and
EPA PROBIT ANALYSIS PROGR AM Version 1.5.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

In a valid acute toxicity study over 96 hours under semi static conditions (renewal of test medium aftert 48 h) the test species rare minnow (Gobiocypris rarus) was exposed to the test item Glycerol fonnal methacrylate.
The following endpoints were detrmined:
96 h-LC50 59.5 mg/L, 95% confident limit was 49.6 mg/L- 71.3 mg/L
96 h-LC100 100 mg/L
96 h-LC0 35.4 mg/L

Executive summary:

In a valid acute toxicity study over 96 hours under semi static conditions (renewal of test medium aftert 48 h) the test species rare minnow (Gobiocypris rarus) was exposed to the test item Glycerol formal methacrylate.

The measured concentrations of main constituent of test substance in blank control at O h and

48 h (old solution) were both lower than the LOD 0.149 mg/L.

In nominal concentrations of 25.0 mg/L, 35.4 mg/L, 50.0 mg/L, 70.7 mg/L and 100 mg/L test

substance groups, the measured concentrations of main constituent of test substance in fresh

test solutions (at O h and 48 h) ranged from 22.7 mg/L - 92.0 mg/L, and in the old test

solutions (at 48 h and 96 h) ranged fonn 20.3 mg/L- 88.8 mg/L. The measured concentrations

of main constituent of test substance was equal to 81 % - 94% of the nominal concentrations of

main constituent, therefore the test results were expressed with nominal concentration.

The acute toxicity of test substance to Rare Minnow ( Gobiocypris rarus) was performed as

definitive test under semi-static conditions (48 h intervals). At the end of the test, the

cumulative mortalities in the nominal concentrations of 25.0 mg/L, 35.4 mg/L, 50.0 mg/L,

70.7 mg/L and 100 mg/L test substance groups were 0%, 0%, 14%, 86% and 100%,

respectively. Hence, the results described as the 96 h median lethal concentration (LC50), the

lowest concentration causing 100% mortality (LC100 ), and the highest concentration causing

0% mortality (LC0) are given as below:
