Conclusions:

Executive summary:

The study outlines the effect of test chemical on the aquatic test modeldanio rerio. This test was performed by following the OECD guidelines 203- Fish Acute Toxicity Test. Five different test concentrations was taken ranging from 0.3125 to 5 mg/L by following the geometric series of factor 2. The test was performed for 96 hrs, and mortality was recorded for every interval of 24 hours up to 96 hours.

Based on the mortality observed in exposed tenure, the observed median lethal concentration of the test chemical is (LC50) 5.0mg/L. The test chemical is toxic to the aquatic environment and it can be classified as aquatic chronic category 2.
