Additional information
Newly hatched Mallard ducklings were fed on feed containing 0, 0.5 or 5% No. 2 fuel oil for 18 weeks. Growth, mortality, behavioural, histological and biochemical investigations were performed to determine the effect of the test substance on the ducklings. Non mortality was observed in ducklings fed no, 0.5 or 5% dietary oil. The growth NOAEL for 18 week old mallard ducks was 5000 ppm. Growth, behavioural, histological and biochemical effects were dose related. This study is considered reliable as it is a non-GLP, non guideline study. It was published in peer reviewed literature, it has minor restrictions in design and/or reporting but is otherwise adequate for assessment.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
