Details on test organisms:
TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Danio rerio; Zebra danio
- Source: West-Aquarium (Bad Lauterberg; Germany)
- Length: 2.5 - 3.5 cm
- Mortality during pre-exposure to synthetic fresh water according to ISO: < 2%
- Medical pre-treatment: no
Test type:
semi-static
Water media type:
freshwater
Limit test:
no
Total exposure duration:
14 d
Post exposure observation period:
NA (The fishes were scarified after 14 days of exposure and then the length and bodyweight were determined).

Salinity:
according to ISO
Nominal and measured concentrations:
Nominal concentrations in mg/L.: 10; 31.6; 100; 316; 1000
Measured concentrations in mg/L: 10-12; 30-34; 100-109; 309-337; 994-1086
Details on test conditions:

Key result
Duration:
96 h
Dose descriptor:
LC50
Effect conc.:
> 1 042 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
meas. (arithm. mean)
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
behaviour
Remarks on result:
other: No remarks
Details on results:
A LC50 (96h) of > 1042 mg/L was derived from the available prolonged toxicity study in fish over 14 days (result: LC50 (21d) > 1042 mg/L).
No mortality was recorded for this prolonged toxicity study in 10 fishes (species: zebra danio) per dose level. Behaviour and development of length and body weight was comparable to those of the controls.
Results with reference substance (positive control):
NA
Reported statistics and error estimates:
NA
Sublethal observations / clinical signs:

No mortality was recorded for this prolonged toxicity study in 10 fishes (species: zebra danio) per dose level. Behaviour and development of length and body weight was comparable to those of the controls.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
A LC50 (96h) of > 1042 mg/L was concluded from the results of the available prolonged toxicity study in fish. Thus, the LC50(96h) is higher than the concentration of the limit test (100 mg/L).
Executive summary:

A LC50(96h) of > 1042 mg/L was concluded from the results of the available prolonged toxicity study in fish ( species: zebra danio) over 14 days. Thus, the LC50(96h) is higher than the concentration of the limit test (100 mg/L). No further testing (in respect of classification and labelling etc.) is required.
