ABNORMAL RESPONSES OF THE FISH: At this concentrations tested a change in the swimming behaviour of the test fishes could be observed.
Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Conclusions:
The 96 h LC50 of FAT 31064/F in this fish acute toxicity test was determined to be 3.6 mg/L.
Executive summary:

The acute fish toxicity test was performed according to a methodology of OECD Guideline 203 following GLP. Zebrafish: (Danio rerio) were used in the experiment setup. 10 fish were tested at these different following concentrations: 0, 1, 1.78, 3.2, 5.6 and 10  mg/L. The LC50 - values are calculated with the Spearman-Kärber Method and the Geometric mean. After 96h exposure, 0/10, 0/10, 0/10, 2/10 10/10 fish were found dead at concentrations of 0 (blank), 1, 1.78, 3.2, 5.6 and 10 mg/L respectively. Based on these findings, the LC50 obtained at 96h was 3.6 mg/L.

Description of key information

In 1990 a key acute fish toxicity test was performed according to a methodology of OECD Guideline 203 following GLP.Zebrafish (Danio rerio) 10 in number per concentration were used in the experiment setup. Fish were tested at these different following concentrations: 1.0, 1.78, 3.2, 5.6, 10.0  mg/l. In conclusion the results LC50 obtained at 96h was 3.6 mg/L. Several suppost studies performed during 1978 and 1980 reported 96 h LC50 as 16 and 15 mg/L for Zebra and Forellen fish respectively.
