Comments on the Data
Not reported Neither goldfish nor killifish
are recommended species for
testing by OECD 203.
Reporting deficiencies
preclude an independent
evaluation of data adequacy.
Selected reporting
deficiencies included: water
chemistry values (pH,
hardness, dissolved oxygen),
identification of test
concentrations, and use of a
vehicle to facilitate
dissolution.
Spine deformation occurred
at 1.1 mg/L.

a Studies that were either published in a foreign language or that were not readily AND that were not critical to the hazard assessment were not retrieved.

Fish were acclimated before
exposure. Moribund and
dead fish were counted at 24,
48, 72, and 96 hours.
