0, 0.355, 0.606, 1.28, 2.62, 5.01 mg/L (measured)
Details on test conditions:
Treatment vessels were glass beakers containing 250 ml of test solution. Ten fish larvae were added to each of three replicate beakers per treatment and control.

Minnows were fed three times daily with newly hatched brine shrimp and rotifers at a rate such that there was a small amount of food left uneaten at the next feeding. Test solutions were renewed daily by replacing ≥ 90% of each test solution with fresh solutions after removing as much of the feces and uneaten food from the remaining ~10% solution as possible. The expired water was pooled by test concentration for analysis.

Details on results:
The mean measured concentrations of the test substance averaged 39 to 64% of the nominal concentrations. Recoveries from quality control fortifications ranged from 67 to 93% of the nominal concentrations. All reported results are based on mean measured concentrations. Undissolved test substance was observed in the primary stock solutions; however, all test solutions appeared clear and colorless throughout the test with no visible particulates, surface films or undissolved test substance.

Fish mortality during the 7-day exposure period ranged from 0% at 0.355 mg/l and 1.28 mg/l to 100% at 5.01 mg/l. Control survival was 97%. Growth of fish surviving the 7-day exposure ranged from 0.2 mg to 1.2 mg. The mean growth per fish in the control was 1.3 mg. Clinical signs through the exposure period included spinal curvature, erratic swimming, discoloration in fish exposed to 2.62 mg/l. All fish in the 10-mg/l group died within the first day of exposure.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
ATBC had EC50 = 1.4 mg/L based on 7-day growth statistics; NOEC = 0.355 mg/L.
Executive summary:

ATBC had EC50 = 1.4 mg/L based on 7-day growth statistics; NOEC = 0.355 mg/L.
