Method:
other: EPA/600/4-90/027
Year: 1997 GLP: no
Test substance: as prescribed by 1.1-1.4; reagent grade
Remarks:
All organisms were obtained from in-house
cultures. D. magna were cultured in hard
reconstituted water at 20 degrees C. Test
organisms were less than 24 hours old at test
initiation.
The toxicity tests followed the general guidance
of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. All
tests were conducted in 30-ml plastic beakers
containing 10 ml test solution and five organisms
per chamber. Tests were conducted under a 16-h:8-h
light-dark photoperiod at 20 degrees C.
Dilution/control water for all tests was
moderately hard reconstituted water (MHRW).
