Reference
Endpoint:
short-term toxicity to fish
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Remarks:
The study generally follows test guideline OECD203. The test report is without detailed documentation. The test parameters documented do not totally comply with the specific testing guideline, but are sufficient to accept the data.

Reference substance (positive control):
no
Key result
Duration:
4 d
Dose descriptor:
LC50
Effect conc.:
> 10 - < 100 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
mortality (fish)
Details on results:
- Behavioural abnormalities:
- Observations on body length and weight:
- Other biological observations:
- Mortality of control:
- Other adverse effects control:
- Abnormal responses:
- Any observations (e.g. precipitation) that might cause a difference between measured and nominal values:
- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium:
Sublethal observations / clinical signs:
Definitive study: cumulative mortality (initial population: 10)
 Concentration (mg/l)  24 hours   48 hours   72 hours   96 hours
 Control  0
 10 (R1) 0
 10 (R2)  0

R1 - R2: replicates R1 - R2

Conclusions:
The 96h LC50 of the test material is >10 <=100 mg/l.

Description of key information
