Details on results:

The 48 hour EC50 deteremined for Nectaryl under the test conditions applied was 0.49 mg/L.

Validity criteria were met :
- The dissolved oxygen concentration was > 6 mg O2/L at the end of the 48 hhour incubation;
- 5% immobilisation was observed in the blank Control and 10% in the Solvent Control over the 48 hour exposure
- No trapping observed in the Controls
