Executive summary:

The short-term toxicity of the test chemical to fish is predicted using EPI Suite ECOSAR version 1.11. On the basis of effect of test chemical observed in a static freshwater system on the mortality of the test organism during the 96 hr exposure duration, the lethal effect concentration (LC50) for the test chemical is estimated to be 2.336 mg/l.Thus, based on the LC50 value, chemical can be considered as toxic to fish and thus can be considered to be classified in ‘aquatic chronic category 2’ as per CLP classification criteria.

Description of key information

The short-term toxicity of the test chemical to fish is predicted using EPI Suite ECOSAR version 1.11 (2018). On the basis of effect of test chemical observed in a static freshwater system on the mortality of the test organism during the 96 hr exposure duration, the lethal effect concentration (LC50) for the test chemical is estimated to be 2.336 mg/l.Thus, based on the LC50 value, chemical can be considered as toxic to fish and thus can be considered to be classified in ‘aquatic chronic category 2’ as per CLP classification criteria.

Additional information

Predicted data of the test chemical and various supporting weight of evidence studies for its structurally similar read across chemical were reviewed for the short term toxicity to fish end point which are summarized as below:

 

In a prediction done using EPI Suite ECOSAR version 1.11, the short-term toxicity of the test chemical to fish is predicted. On the basis of effect of test chemical observed in a static freshwater system on the mortality of the test organism during the 96 hr exposure duration, the lethal effect concentration (LC50) for the test chemical is estimated to be 2.336 mg/l.

 

In a supporting weight of evidence study from authoritative database (J-CHECK, 2018),an acute toxicity test was conducted for 96 hrs for assessing the effect of test chemical on Oryzias latipes (Japanese rice fish). The test was performed in accordance to OECD guideline No. 203 “Fish Acute Toxicity Test”. Oryzias latipes (Japanese rice fish) was used as a test organism for the study. Test chemical conc. used for the study were1.00, 1.80, 3.20, 5.60 and 10.0 mg/l (geometric ratio ca. 1.8), control, vehicle control. Analytical monitoring involve the use of HPLC. Study was performed using 10 per conc. Oryzias latipes in a semi-static fresh water system. Total 50 fishes were exposed to test chemical in a vessel covered water surface with teflon sheet. The test vessels were placed under a photoperiod of room light, 16:8 hr light: dark conditions, respectively. On the basis of mortality of the test organism Oryzias latipes (Japanese rice fish), the 96 hrs LC50 value was determined to be 1.88 mg/l (95% C. I. – 1.42 to 2.48 mg/l), respectively. 

 

For the test chemical,short term toxicity to fish study was conducted for 96 hrs for assessing the effect of test chemical on fish. The study was performed under static conditions. On the basis of mortality of the test organism, the 96 hrs LC50 value was determined to be 1.8 mg/l. 

 

On the basis of the above results, it can be concluded that the test chemical can be considered astoxic to fish and thus can be considered to be classified in ‘aquatic chronic category 2’ as per CLP classification criteria.
