TREATMENT OF TEST MATERIAL PRIOR TO TESTING
The test solution was prepared by directly adding appropriate amounts in dilution water and then facilitating its dispersion by ultrasonification for 30 min.

- Concentration of vehicle in test medium (stock solution and final test solution(s) at different concentrations and in control(s)): 1000 mg/L
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc): no

Test organisms (species):

Oryzias latipes

Details on test organisms:

TEST ORGANISM

- Strain: Oryzias latipes
- Source: Commercial Supplier, Japan
- Length at study initiation: 2.9 cm (average length)
- Weight at study initiation: 0.21 g (average weight)

pH:

8

Dissolved oxygen:

88% - 91%

Salinity:

no data

Nominal and measured concentrations:

Nominal Concentration: 250 mg/L
Mean measured concentration: 250 mg/L

Details on test conditions:

TEST SYSTEM
- Type: open
- Aeration: no
- No. of organisms per vessel: 10
- No. of vessels per concentration (replicates): 3
- No. of vessels per control (replicates): 3


TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: dechlorinated drinking water
- Culture medium different from test medium: no
- Intervals of water quality measurement: daily

OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH: no
- Photoperiod: light dark cycle was 16h:8h


TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Range finding study: Yes

Duration:

96 h

Dose descriptor:

LC50

Effect conc.:

> 250 mg/L

Nominal / measured:

meas. (initial)

Conc. based on:

test mat.

Basis for effect:

mortality (fish)

Details on results:

- Behavioural abnormalities: no
- Observations on body length and weight: no
- Other biological observations: no
- Mortality of control: no
- Other adverse effects control: no
- Abnormal responses: no
- Any observations (e.g. precipitation) that might cause a difference between measured and nominal values: no
- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: yes

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

No mortality was observed in this assay up to the limit concentration of 250 mg/L. The concentration was maintained using HCO as solubiliser. The LC50 (96 h) exceeds 250 mg/L.

Executive summary:

The test was performed according to OECD 203. No mortality was observed in this assay up to the limit concentration of 250 mg/L. The concentration was maintained using HCO as solubiliser. The LC50 (96 h) exceeds 250 mg/L.

Description of key information

The results showed that under valid static test conditions, the 96 h-LC50 of the test material to fish (Oryzias latipes) is greater than the nominal concentration of 250 mg/L. Thus, the 96h-LC50 is greater than 250 mg/L.
