No mortalities in the control
yes
The dissolved oxygen concentration must have been at least 60 per cent of the air

yes
There must be evidence that the concentration of the substance being tested has been satisfactorily maintained, and preferably it should be at least 80 per cent of the
nominal concentration throughout the test. If the deviation from the nominal
concentration is greater than 20 per cent, results should be based on the measured

pH was between 7.24 and 7.83
yes
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- For further details please refer to “Any other information on results incl. tables”.
- Conclusions:
- In this study the substance was found to cause lethal effects to zebrafish after 96 h at a geometric mean measured test item concentration of 0.278 mg/L. The LC50 after 96 h was 0.205 mg test item/L (geometric mean of LC0 and LC100). The LC0 and LC100 after 96 h was 0.151 and 0.278 mg test item/L (geometric mean measured test item concentrations).
- Executive summary:
The short-term toxicity of the substance towards fish was conducted according to GLP and OECD guideline 203. In a semi-static system with daily renewal of the test media, Danio rerio as the test organism was exposed to the following nominal five test item concentrations: 0.100, 0.220, 0.484, 1.06 and 2.34 mg/L (nominal) corresponding to geometric mean measured concentrations of 0.0621, 0.151, 0.278, 0.585 and 1.47 mg/L. The duration of the test was 96 h. The measured concentrations in freshly prepared media were in the range 81 and 99% of the nominal values. In corresponding 24 h aged test media, the measured concentrations were between 31 and 59% of the nominal values. Therefore, all effect values are based on the geometric mean measured concentrations of the test item. During the 96-h exposure period, no death and visible toxic signs were observed in the control group and 0.0621 mg/L test group, the fish exposed to other 4 test groups showed visible toxic signs such as lethargy, side position, slow or no escape reflex and deaths. The LC50 (96 h) of 0.205 mg/L (geom. mean meas.) was derived from the LC0 (96 h) = 0.151 mg/L and LC100 (96 h) = 0.278 mg/L.

Additional information
One study is available, in which the short-term toxicity of the substance towards fish was investigated. The study was conducted according to GLP and OECD guideline 203. In a semi-static system with daily renewal of the test media, Danio rerio as the test organism was exposed to the following nominal five test item concentrations: 0.100, 0.220, 0.484, 1.06 and 2.34 mg/L (nominal) corresponding to geometric mean measured concentrations of 0.0621, 0.151, 0.278, 0.585 and 1.47 mg/L. The duration of the test was 96 h. The measured concentrations in freshly prepared media were in the range 81 and 99% of the nominal values. In corresponding 24 h aged test media, the measured concentrations were between 31 and 59% of the nominal values. Therefore, all effect values are based on the geometric mean measured concentrations of the test item. During the 96-h exposure period, no death and visible toxic signs were observed in the control group and 0.0621 mg/L test group, the fish exposed to other 4 test groups showed visible toxic signs such as lethargy, side position, slow or no escape reflex and deaths. The LC50 (96 h) of 0.205 mg/L (geom. mean meas.) was derived from the LC0 (96 h) = 0.151 mg/L and LC100 (96 h) = 0.278 mg/L.
