Long-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- long-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2003
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- A guideline study was conducted according to OECD-TG211 on Daphnia magna reproduction. The test result showed this chemical effected mainly on mortality in daphnid. The test was well conducted and the detail data on the test are available therefore this test is regarded reliable however the NOEC was driven from mortality instead of reproduction. We determined the NOEC of 2.8 mg/L statistically from the mortality instead of the inhibition on reproduction by Fisher's exact test.

- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 211 (Daphnia magna Reproduction Test)
- Version / remarks:
- (1998)
- Deviations:
- no

- Analytical monitoring:

- Details on sampling:
- Three times during the exposure period, each test solution was sampled from each test container in each test group before and after the water was replaced.
0.75 mL was sampled for the control, auxiliary agent control group, 0.0800, 0.250 and 0.800 mg/L groups and mixed with an equal amount of acetonitrile.
1 mL of the 2.50, 8.00 mg/L groups was sampled, and after making a constant volume in 10 mL of the dilution water, 0.75 mL was sampled and mixed with an equal amount of acetonitrile.
Analysis was conducted by LC/MS. The test substance concentration for each test solution was quantified from the ratio to the peak area of the standard solution and the 21 day time weighted mean was determined. - Vehicle:
- yes
- Details on test solutions:
- The dilution water used for preparing the test solution was aerated prior to preparation and brought to 20±1°C in the constant temperature tank. The test substance solution II was prepared as per the following chart for each level of concentration.

100µL of each test substance solution II was sampled and the test solution was kept at a constant volume of 1.0L with the dilution water (auxiliary agent concentration: 100µL/L). 80mL was placed in each of the 10 test containers in a concentration group.
The control group involved only the dilution water, and the auxiliary agent control group contained only the auxiliary agent (auxiliary agent concentration: 100µL/L). - Test organisms (species):
