Determination of the LC-values

FAT 20202/F was tested in nominal concentrations of 0.02, 0.04, 0.08, 0.18, 0.40 and 0.88 mg test substance/L. Additionally a blank control without test substance was tested.

In the test concentrations no alteration of the test substance in the test media was observed during the test.

In the control and in the test concentration up to 0.08 mg/1 no mortalities and no abnormal behaviour of the test fish was observed over the test period. Therefore, the

NOEC and the LC0 value was determined to be 0.08 mg/1. The LC100 value was determined to be 0.40 mg/L.

The reported results are related to the nominal values of the test concentrations of the test article.

The LC50 value after 96 hours was calculated to be 0.13 mg/L.

Conclusions:
The LC50 of FAT 20202/F in this fish acute toxicity test was determined to be 0.13 mg/L.
Executive summary:

An acute fish toxicity test was performed with Zebra-fish ( Brachydanio rerio). Groups of fish were exposed at the test concentrations of 0.02, 0.04, 0.08, 0.18, 0.40 and 0.88 mg/L. In the test concentrations no alteration of the test substance in the test media was observed during the test. In the control and in the test concentration up to 0.08 mg/L, no mortalities and no abnormal behaviour of the test fish was observed over the test period. Therefore, the NOEC and the LC0 value was determined to be 0.08 mg/L. The LC100 value was determined to be 0.40 mg/L. The reported results are related to the nominal values of the test concentrations of the test article. The LC50 value after 96 hours was calculated to be 0.13 mg/L.

Additional information

An acute fish toxicity test was performed with Zebra-fish (Brachydanio rerio). Groups of fish were exposed at the test concentrations of 0.02, 0.04, 0.08, 0.18, 0.40 and 0.88 mg/L. In the test concentrations no alteration of the test substance in the test media was observed during the test. In the control and in the test concentration up to 0.08 mg/l, no mortalities and no abnormal behaviour of the test fish was observed over the test period. Therefore, the NOEC and the LC0 value was determined to be 0.08 mg/l. The LC100 value was determined to be 0.40 mg/l. The reported results are related to the nominal values of the test concentrations of the test article. The LC50 value after 96 hours was calculated to be 0.13 mg/l. Several other supporting studies were also performed with following results:


FAT 20202/D when exposed to groups of zebra fish using methodology similar to OECD Guideline 203, was determined to have 96h LC50 of 1.5 mg/l.


FAT 20202/C when exposed to groups of Red Killi fish using methodology similar to OECD Guideline 203, was determined to have 48h LC50 of 1 mg/l.


FAT 20202/C when exposed to groups of Trout fish using methodology similar to OECD Guideline 203, was determined to have 48h LC50 of 0.55 mg/l.


FAT 20202/B when exposed to groups of Trout fish using methodology similar to OECD Guideline 203, was determined to have 48h LC50 of 0.55 mg/l.


FAT 20202/A when exposed to groups of Trout fish using methodology similar to OECD Guideline 203, was determined to have 48h LC50 of 0.63 mg/l.
