Results with reference substance (positive control):
To check on suitability as test subjects, fish from each lot were challenged, under the same experimental conditions, with a reference pesticide (toxaphene, at 0.010, 0.018, and 0.056 ppm). The observed 96-hr LC50 was usually around 0.02 ppm; with one lot of bluegills there were no deaths at 0.018 ppm and no survivors at 0.056 ppm.
Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Conclusions:
The 96h-LC50 was determined to be 6.0 mg/L for Rainbow trout and 8.1 mg/L for Bluegill sunfish.
Executive summary:

An acute toxicity test was perfomed on Rainbow trous (cold water fish) and Bluegill sunfish (warm water fish). Vessels were lined with disposable polyethylene bags and filled with 12.5 liter reconstituted water. Ten fish were placed in each vessel and allowed 24 h to become acclimated. The test item solutions in acetone, were then added to the bioassay vessels. Five concentrations were tested on the basis of preliminary screening tests. Control groups of fish in untreated water and in water to which acetone only was added were observed concurrently. The fish were observed for 96 h and all deaths and/or untoward behavioral reactions were recorded. The concentration of dissolved oxygen was measured in all solutions in which deaths occurred to be sure the test water contained sufficient oxygen; dissolved oxygen concentrations above 4 mg/L for warm-water fish (bluegills) or above 5 mg/L for cold-water fish (rainbow trout) were considered adequate. The median lethal concentrations (LC50) were calculated. The 96h-LC50 was determined to be 6.0 mg/L (4.9 -7.2 mg/L) for Rainbow trout and 8.1 mg/L (7.4 -9.0 mg/L) for Bluegill sunfish.

Conc. based on:

Basis for effect:
mortality (fish)
Details on results:
The 96h-LC50 was determined to be 14.1 mg/L (95% CL: 11.8-16.5 mg/L) in Oryzias latipes.
Validity criteria fulfilled:

Conclusions:
The 96h-LC50 was determined to be 14.1 mg/L in Oryzias latipes.
Executive summary:

An acute fish test was performed according to the OECD Guideline 203 on Oryzias latipes. 10 fish per dose were exposed up to 100 mg/L test item for 96 hours under semi-static conditions. Test item was measured by HPLC analysis. The 96h-LC50 was determined to be 14.1 mg/L (95% CL: 11.8-16.5 mg/L) based on mortality.
