TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Test preformed in Elendt M4 medium.
- Intervals of water quality measurement: pH, dissolved oxygen and temperature measured at start of test and end of 48 hour test period. Temperature was recorded at 0, 24 and 48 hours.

OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Photoperiod: 16 hours light, 8 hours dark

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable): 24 and 48 hour EC50.

TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study:
Preliminary study undertaken at concentrations of 0, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 mg/l. Data from the preliminary study identified the 48 hour EC50 as being approximately between 10 and 100 mg/l.
