Reference
Endpoint:
short-term toxicity to fish
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Principles of method if other than guideline:
A study was conducted to determine the toxicity of the test substance to Zebra fish (Danio rerio). The fish were exposed for 96 h to nominal concentrations of 0, 300, 400 and 500 mg/L. Mortality and symptoms were assessed daily.

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the 96 h LC0 of the test substance to Zebra fish (Brachydanio rerio) was determined to be >500 mg/L (nominal).
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the toxicity of the test substance to Zebra fish (Danio rerio) according to an internal protocol. The fish were exposed for 96 h to nominal test substance concentrations of 0, 300, 400 and 500 mg/L. Mortality and symptoms were assessed daily. The analytical verification was conducted by photometry (colour strength at 300, 400 and 500 mg/L). No treatment-related adverse symptoms were observed in any group. No mortality was observed among the exposed test animals of any group. Under the study conditions, the 96 h LC0 and LC50 of the test substance to Zebra fish (Danio rerio) were determined to be >500 mg/L (nominal) (Kolsche, 1986).
