Guideline:
OECD Guideline 203 (Fish, Acute Toxicity Test)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
This study was designed to assess the toxic effects of the test compound on the Zebra Fish Danio rerio .Bowl aquaria containing 2 liters of potable water (passed through reverse osmosis system) were loaded with 8 fishes. A static procedure was used for the study and it was conducted in compliance with the OECD guideline 203.

Executive summary:

This study was designed to assess the toxic effects of the test compound on the Zebra Fish Danio rerio.Bowl aquaria containing 2 liters of potable water (passed through reverse osmosis system) were loaded with 8 fishes. A static procedure was used for the study and it was conducted in compliance with the OECD guideline 203. A 96 h study was conducted for CAS No.29556-33-0 on Zebra Fish Danio rerio, at a test concentrations of 100 mg/L. The fishes were moving slowly as compared to control. No mortalities were found in the control aquaria. The lethal concentrations LC50 was found to be >100mg/L.
