- An acute daphnia range finding toxicity test preceded the fish test and provided information about the range of concentrations which were used in the fish test. The following nominal concentration of the test item was tested in the daphnia range finding test: 100 mg/L.
A group of seven fish of the recommended size was exposed to a limit test concentration of nominally 100 mg/L of Ester PSA + DEG dissolved in dilution water. Auxiliary used to prepare the test media were an ultra turrax, a magnetic stirrer and a folded filter.
Pre-treatment of test item and preparation of test item concentrations:
A direct weighing was prepared to produce the only test concentration. 500.7 mg of the test item were added to 5 litres of dilution water and treated for 60 seconds at 8000 rpm with an ultra turrax and afterwards stirred for 3 hours on a magnetic stirrer. Finally undissolved particles of the test item were removed by filtration using a folded filter of pore size 7-12 μm. The pH was measured to be 7.7.
Finally 7 fish were given to the test item concentration and the control.

- Criteria of effects : The criterion of death used in this study was the absence of response to physical stimulation. In addition to observations on mortality at 2, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours, type and incidence of sub lethal effects compared with control fish were observed. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Sublethal observations / clinical signs:
No toxic effects against fish were observed at a limit test concentration of 100 mg/L.
All results are expressed in terms of nominal concentrations. Effective concentrations correspond to 101.5 % of nominal values at 0 hours and to 90.9 % of nominal values at 96 hours.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- (- The mortality in the controls did not exceed 10 % by the end of the test. - The dissolved oxygen concentration remained above 60 % of the air-saturation value throughout the exposure period. - The pH did not vary by more than 1 unit.)
- Conclusions:
- The acute toxicity to fish (danio rerio) of the test substance was tested in a static test. After 96 hours of exposure no effect against fish were observed at a limit test concentration of 100 mg/L (Neuhahn, 2012).
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the acute toxicity of the test substance to Danio rerio under static conditions. The study was conducted in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Method C.1 'Acute toxicity for Fish' (2008) which is in most parts equivalent to the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 203 'Fish, Acute Toxicity Test' (1992).
An acute daphnia range finding toxicity test preceded the fish test and provided information about the range of concentrations which were used in the fish test. The following nominal concentration of the test item was tested in the daphnia range finding test: 100 mg/L.
Because of the anticipated low toxicity of the test item, fish were exposed in the fish test to a limit test concentration of nominally 100 mg/L for a period of 96 hours. As no toxic effects against fish were observed, no statistical analysis was required to determine the LC 50. Additionally any abnormal behavior or appearance of the fish was reported every 24 hours.
After 96 hours of exposure a LC50 of >100 mg/L (nominal) was determined.
This toxicity study is classified acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements for the acute fish.
