Additional information

The reported 48h-EC50 of 14.5 mg Ba/L by Biesinger and Christensen (1972) for Daphnia magna is based on nominal test concentrations, using the soluble BaCl2 as test substance. The followed test procedure in this 1972 -study was well described and test conditions (eg.g. test medium composition) were properly identified.

No reliable data were identified for the marine compartment
