OECD SIDS <strong>LINEAR</strong> <strong>ALKYLBENZENE</strong> <strong>SULFONATE</strong> (<strong>LAS</strong>)<br />

Oncorhynchus mykiss (rainbow trout)<br />

Oryzias latipes (medaka)<br />

Poecilia reticulata (guppy)<br />

Results: LC50 (C. auratus) = 9.5 mg/L (46 records)<br />

LC50 (O. mykiss) = 3.0 mg/L (10 records)<br />

LC50 (O. latipes) = 13 mg/L (5 records)<br />

LC50 (P. reticulata) = 3.8 mg/L (9 records)<br />

Test Substance: C10-14 <strong>LAS</strong> (all <strong>LAS</strong> in range, including data for individual homologues)<br />

Remarks: Geometric mean LC50 values for the number of records listed for each<br />

species. The interspecies variation decreases considerably when the<br />

geometric mean value per species is calculated.<br />

Environ. Toxicol. Chem. 18:2653-2663.<br />

Reliability: 4 This study was given a reliability score of 4 because the original reports<br />

reviewed by the authors were not directly reviewed in the compilation of this<br />

robust summary.<br />

Species: Fish species (all marine)<br />

Results: LC50 = 1.58 mg/L (6 records; SD = 0.16)<br />

Test Substance: <strong>LAS</strong>; average alkyl chain length C11.7-12.0<br />

Remarks: LC50 is geometric mean of 6 records compiled from literature reviews.<br />

Geometric mean LC50 for all taxa (36 records; SD = 0.79) was 4.36 mg/L.<br />
