Details on results:

The mortality in the control may not exceed 10% at the end of the test. No mortalities occurred in the control.No mortality at 1 mg/L100% mortality at 10 mg/L (1 at 24h and 6 at 48h)100% mortality at 100 mg/L (7 at 24h )

Reported statistics and error estimates:

The validity criteria were met

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

According the guideline OECD 203, the following results for the test item Mephttamin HCL could be determined : 96h NOEC = 1 mg/L and 96h LC50 = 1 - 10 mg/L

Executive summary:

The experiment was performed using three concentrations ranging from 1 to 100 mg/L. For each concentration, seven fish were exposed to the test item for 96 hours. The pH and the oxygen value of the water were normal.

In the treatment 10 and 100 mg/L 100% mortality was obersered. No mortality occured in the treatment 1 mg/L and in the control.

The following results for the test item Mephttamin HCL could be determined : 96h NOEC = 1 mg/L and 96h LC50 = 1 - 10 mg/L
