Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

The 28 -day sex-reversal NOECs for male secondary sexual characteristics are:

Dorsal fin length = 0.01 mg/L

Anal fin length = 0.01 mg/L

Papillary processes on anal fin = 0.001 mg/L

Differentiation of male testes into ovaries = 0.001 mg/L

No statistical support was provided for results.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
a study was conducted exposing newly hatched fish, Oryzias latipes, to the test substance for 28 days. Sex reversal effects for male secondary sexual characteristics were measured.
Executive summary:

Hagino et al.( 2001) conducted a study (Klimisch 3) where newly hatched medaka (Oryzias latipes) were exposed to p-tert-amylphenol in a flow-through system for 28 days. Male secondary sex characteristics were evaluated and the NOEC determined for the following:

Dorsal fin length = 0.01 mg/L

Anal fin length = 0.01 mg/L

Papillary processes on anal fin = 0.001 mg/L

Differentiation of male testes into ovaries = 0.001 mg/L.

Although the study was not conducted according to acceptable methods, it is presented here for support for oestrogenic effects.
