The sample of X2003-3 (T.R. Wilbury Laboratories Sample Number 530) was delivered to T.R. Wilbury Laboratories on August 29, 1995 in a 5 gallon metal bucket within a cardboard box at ambient temperature. it was contained in an approximately 200 ml glass jar. The label attached to
the bottle included the following informations IN2003-3, S. Beach, 2-3E09, (612) 778-7452, 8/22/95.*
N2803-3 (a white solid) was supplied by 3H company, st Paul,
Minnesota. Prior to use the sample of U2803-3 was stored in the dark at
room temperature.
The sample of M2803-3 supplied by the sponsor was
combined with isopropanol in a 50:50 ratio prior to use. mixture was then considered to be 100% test substance
This SO:50 during the
performance of the toxicity test. All results are reported both an the
basis of test substance as-tested (50% W2803-3 and 500 isopropanol) and

assumed to have a purity of 1001 active ingredient and to be stable under
storage and testing conditions. unused test substance will be returned to

Prior to testing the fish were maintained under flow through conditions in a 270 liter fiberglass tank. During acclimation fish were not treated for disease, they were free of apparent sickness, injuries, and abnormalities at the beginning of the test, and mortality during the final 48 hours of acclimation was less than 3%.
During the 14 day period before the start of the toot the acclimationtemperaturerange was 21.0 to 22.3*C and the dissolved oxygen concentrationwas always at least 8.0 Mg/L. During acclimation fish were fed a dry commercial food (Tetra Kin* staple Foodp Lot t TNOS) daily except during the 48 hours in@eiately preceding the test. rish were not fed during the test. At the conclusion of the test the control fish had an average total length of 33.4 mm and an average wet weight of 0.35 g (loading during the definitive toxicity toot was 0.23 9/L).
TOXICITY TZSTING:
A static screening test was conducted from August 18 to 22, 1995 with five concentrations of test substance as-roc*ived and a dilution water control. Nominal concentrat-ons of N2803-3 were 0.05, 0.50, 5.0, 50, and 500 mg/L. After 96 hours of expaoure there was 1001 survival -n the control, 90% survival at 0.05 mg/L, 1001 survival at 0.50, 5.0, and 50 mg/L, and Ot survival at 500 mg/L.
The definitive toxicity test was performed from September I to 5, 1995, according to T.R. wilbury Protocol 891-TH (Acute Toxicity of N2803-3 To the Fathe&d Minnow, Plmophales promelas). The protocol, which was signed by the study director on August 16, 1995, is based on proc*duroo of the U.S. Enviro=ental Protection Agency (1993). A summary of the test system is presented in Table 2.
The test was conducted at a target temperature of 22 t 2*C with five
concentrations of test substance and a dilution water concentrations of the test substance an-tost*d were: control. Nominal
0 mg/L (control), 130, 220, 360, 600, and 1,000 mg/L. Appropriate amounts of test substance
were added directly to dilution water in test vessels

to formulate test
Twenty fathead minnows were indiscriminately and equally distributed among two replicates of each treatment. The test was performed in 20 liter glass aquaria that contained 15 liters of test solution (water
depth was approximately 18 cm). Test vessels were randomly arranged in a
water bath during the 96 hour text (a random numbers table was used to
select the location of each vess*lj and they were loosely covered. A 16
hour light and 8 hour dark photoperiod with a 15 minute transition period

The number of surviving Organisms and the occurrence of sublethal offsets (immobilization, loss of equilibrium, less of reflex, excitability,discoloration,or change in behavior) were determined visually and recorded initially and after 24, 40, 72, and 96 hours (mortalityand sublethaleffects were monitoredtwice each day). Dead test organismswere removedwhen first observed. Dissolvedoxygen (Ysr Model 57 motor; instrument number 1). pH (sockxlan model pUl 12 motor; instrument number 124), conductivity (Cole Parmor motor, instrument number 94), and temperature (Beckman model pHI 12 motor; instrument number 124, probe pUT-4) were measured and recorded daily in each test chamber that contained live animals. The tempa:ature in one test vessel was recorded at least hourly during the test.
A static test was conducted from September 29 to October 3, 2995 with 500 mg/L isopropanol (7.5 9 isopropanol added to 15 liters of dilution water) and a dilution water control. The test was established with 2 replicates of each concentration and 10 fish per replicate, and it was conducted in a manner similar to the test with H2803-3. Test vessels were randomly arranged in a water bath and the light intensity was 28 footcandles.
STATISTZCAL MZTNODST
Results of the toxicity test were interpreted by standard statistical techniques. Computer methods (Stephan, 1983) were used to calculate the mdian lethal concentrations ILC509). All calculations war* performed using nominal concentrations of test substance as tested and the number of live fathead minnows. The no observed effect concentration in the highest concentration of test substance that did not cause any toxicant-related mortality or sublethal effects.

Notes: 1. All of the fish exposed to 1,000 mg/L test substance as-taste; died immediately and 7 of the 20 fish exposed to 600 mg/L test substance an-tested died immediately.
2. kffected fish were swimming in short, irregular bursts and then floated motionlessto the bottom of the test vessels.

mix. PROTOCOL ANzKDNx3rn AND DZVIATIONS
PROTOCOL ANZX=Ctwrs I
The protocol was amended to specify that the test substance would be comprised of 50% N2803-3 and 501 isopropanol, to note the nominal concentrations for the definitive test, and to not* that an additional toxicity test "uld be conducted with isopropanol.
PROTOCOL DZVIATIONSI
Dissolved oxygen concentrations were <601 saturation at 72 hr prior
to aeration. Toot vessels were aerated prior to sponsor approval.
The slope of the done response curve was not provided.
In the
isopropanol test, not all fish were between 0.1 and 1.0 9. These
deviations did not affect the outcome of the study and no deviations were made from the protocol.
