- Method: A weighed amount of the test item (100.1 mg) was carefully added to 1 L of test water in a sealed glass vessel of 1 L capacity containing a magnetic stirring bar. The mixing was performed during 24 h in the dark. Following mixing the contents of the vessel was allowed to stand undisturbed for 1 h. Then, the stock solution was diluted with test water to obtain the required test concentrations and filled into the test tubes. Each prepared concentration was inverted several times before filling of test tubes to ensure adequate mixing and homogeneity. The final test solutions were all clear and colourless, and remained unchanged during the 48 h of incubation.

OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Photoperiod: 16 h light: 8 h dark
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable): Immobility and abnormal behaviour were determined by visual observation after 24 and 48 h. The daphnids were considered to be immobile if they were not able to swim within 15 seconds after gentle agitation of the test vessels.
TEST CONCENTRATIONS

- Test concentrations: 0.10, 1.0, 10 and 100 mg/L (nominal)

The chemical analyses revealed that test item concentrations were not stable during the test period. Based on these results, test concentrations of 10, 14.6, 21.4, 31.5, 46.3, 68 and 100 mg/L (nominal) were selected for the main test. - Reference substance (positive control):

- Executive summary:
An acute aquatic toxicity study was performed on Daphnia magna in accordance with GLP and OECD Guideline 202. Following a preliminary range-finding test, twenty daphnids (four replicates, five daphnids/replicate) were exposed to an aqueous solution of nerol, at the required nominal test concentrations of 10, 14.6, 21.4, 31.5, 46.3, 68 and 100 mg/L. The immobility of the daphnids was determined in a static 48-h test by visual observation after 24 and 48 h.
The concentrations of the test item were determined by chemical analyses at start and at the 48-h incubation period. The test item levels were found to be relatively stable throughout the test and the evaluation of the effects on daphnids was based on the nominal concentrations.
After 24 and 48 h of exposure, immobilizations were 0, 0, 0, 0, 35, 100, 100 and 100 % at 0, 10, 14.6, 21.4, 31.5, 46.3, 68 and 100 mg/L, respectively. The EC50 value at 24 and 48 h was 32.4 (21.4-46.3) mg/L.
Therefore, the 48 h EC50 for Nerol to Daphnia magna was estimated to be 32.4 (21.4-46.3) mg/L (nominal).

Additional information
One reliable study is available for the registered substance. The toxicity to freshwater invertebrates was studied according to OECD TG No. 202 and GLP. Daphnids (Daphnia magna) were exposed to substance at nominal test concentrations of 10, 14.6, 21.4, 31.5, 46.3, 68 and 100 mg/L over a test period of 48 hours (static test). Concentrations were analytically verified at the start and at the end of the test. Measured concentrations did not deviate from 20% of the initial concentrations. Thus the endpoints were based on nominal concentration.
The 48h-EC50 was determined to 32.4 mg/L, the EC0 and EC100 to 21.4 mg/l and 46.3 mg/L, respectively.
