Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Long-term toxicity to fish
Administrative data

Description of key information
Most sensitive long term toxicity data for 3 different freshwater fish species are summarized in the EU-RAR (2008). According to these data, the effect concentrations for Nickel hydrogencitrate were calculated:
Brachydanio rerio: no effect concentration (8d, hatchability) = 0.13 mg Trinickel dicitrate/L
Pimephales promelas: NOEC (32d, growth) = 0.180 mg Trinickel dicitrate/L
Oncorhynchus mykiss: NOEC (8d, growth) = 0.422 mg Trinickel dicitrate/L (most sensitive data for this species)
Most sensitive long term toxicity data for 2 different marine fish species (as cited in EU-RAR, 2008)
Atherinops affinis: EC10 (40d, survival) = 11.326 mg Trinickel dicitrate/L
Cyprinodon variegatus: EC10 (28d, growth) = 65.331 mg Trinickel dicitrate/L
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Accepted data on chronic single-species toxicity tests resulting in high quality NOEC/L(E)C10 values (expressed as Ni) for freshwater fish (n = 21) are summarised in the EU-RAR, 2008. Chronic data for 3 different fish species were extracted and used in the effects assessment. The NOEC/L(E)C10 values for fish range from 40 μg Ni/L (0.13 mg Trinickel dicitrate/L) for Brachydanio rerio to 1,100 μg Ni/L (3.462 mg Trinickel dicitrate/L) for Oncorhynchus mykiss. The most sensitive data for Brachydanio rerio are shown in detail in the key study record of chap 6.1.2, further results for other freshwater fish are attached in this key study record.
Accepted data on chronic single-species toxicity tests resulting in accepted high quality reliable NOEC or L(E)C10 values (expressed as Ni) for marine fish are summarized in the EU-RAR, 2008, too. EC10 values were in a range from 3599 μg Ni/L (11.326 mg Trinicel dicitrate/L) for survival of the topsmelt, Atherinops affinis, to 20760 μg Ni/L (65,331 mg Trinickel dicitrate/L) for growth of the sheepshead minnow, Cyprinodon variegatus. The results for the marine species are only shown in the attachment of the key study record of chapter 6.1.2.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
