Melamine was tested for influence on the egg-larval development of the fresh water fish species Jordanella floridae. Five concentrations of melamine in standard dilution water were tested: 100; 180; 320; 560; and 1,000 mg/L.
At none of the concentrations tested an influence was found on the hatching ability of the eggs or on the appearance of the newly born larvae and on survival, on the condition (visually assessed) or colour of the fish larvae during the 28 day exposure period after hatching.
Neither at 560 mg/L nor at the lower concentrations tested was any influence found on the length or weight of the fish larvae at the end of the test. At 1000 mg/L the length and weight of the fish larvae at the end of the test were slightly less than those of the fishes in the other test solutions, but the differences were not significant.

Additional information
Data on the chronic toxicity of the target substance diphosphoric acid, compound with 1,3,5-triamine (1:2) to fish are not available. The evaluation of the chronic toxicity to fish is based on a read across approach with available data on the source substance melamine (CAS 108-78-7). The read across approach is in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5. Further justification is given in the analogue justification in IUCLID section 13.
The available study on the chronic toxicity of melamine (CAS 108-78-7) investigated the effect of the substance on the egg-larval development of the fresh water fish Jordanella floridae. Eggs (<6 hours after laying) were exposed to nominal test substance concentrations of 100, 180, 320, 560 and 1000 mg/L in a semi-static test. The number of eggs hatched and the development and condition of surviving fish was recorded. Significant effects on any of the effect parameters were not observed. The determined NOEC (35 d) was > =1000 mg/L.
