other: read across from analogue substance
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Study period:
June 17 - June 21 1991
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:

Details on test solutions:
PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: The specimen is insoluble in water. The substance was weighed directly into the test vessel. Each test batch was mixed for 10 seconds with an Ultraturrax.
Test organisms (species):
Danio rerio (previous name: Brachydanio rerio)
Details on test organisms:
TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: zebrafish
- Source: West Aquarium, delivered on 04 January 1991
- All other template details: Not reported

ACCLIMATION
- Type and amount of food: Altromin 1413, equivalent to A-1410 but roughly pelleted rather than milled
- Health during acclimation (any mortality observed): 0.1% mortality observed a week before test initiation
- No pretreatment of test animals
- All other template details: not reported

QUARANTINE (wild caught): not applicable
Test type:
semi-static
Water media type:
freshwater
Limit test:
no

22.5 - 23.5 °C
pH:
7.7 - 8.1
Dissolved oxygen:
initially, 94-97 %
decreased to 24-78 % for the test containers by the end of the experiment
Nominal and measured concentrations:
Nominal: 0, 300, 1000, 3000 mg/l
Details on test conditions:
TEST SYSTEM: not reported

TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: according to ISO 7346 II
- No other details reported

OTHER TEST CONDITIONS: not reported

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED: mortality measured every 24 hours

TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Spacing factor for test concentrations:
- Justification for using less concentrations than requested by guideline:
- Range finding study

Conclusions:
A 96-hr test with Brachydanio rario according to ISO 7346 II with the test material resulted in an LC0 of 147 mg/l active ingredient, an LC50 of 269 mg/l active ingredient, and an LC100 of 490 mg/ L active ingredient. Overall, the test material has a low toxicity to fish.
Executive summary:

The low test-sulfo-rapeseed oil, according to the UBA method proposal of 01.06.1982 "lethal effect in zebrafish Brachidanio rerio" (LC 0, LC 50, LC 100, 48 - 96 hours) ISO 7346 ll, had an LC0 = 147 mg/ L active ingredient and has a low toxicity to fish.
