Description of key information
Many high quality studies are available in the database of toxicity to other aquatic vertebrates. A lumped data set for nickel-based compounds was considered for endpoint coverage.
The lowest EC50 is 0.146 mg Ni/L for Xenopus laevis (Hopfer et al., 1991) and the highest EC50 is 3.740 mg Ni/L for Bufo terrestris (Fort et al., 2006). The LC50 values range from 0.420 mg Ni/L for Ambystoma opacum (Birge et al., 1978) to 21.42 mg Ni/L for Ambystoma opacum (Hopfer et al, 1991).
Additional information
Toxicity to Amphibians:
NOEC/L(E)C10 data are available for three species of amphibians, with values ranging from 84.5 µg Ni/L to 13.147 µg Ni/L, both values from Xenopus laevis (Hopfer et al., 1991).
The following table indicates those NOEC or EC10 values of high quality that have been carried forward for the HC5 & PNEC derivation.
