The study was conducted in accordance with EEC Methods for Determination ofEcotoxicity Annex to Directive 92/69/EEC (O.J. No. L383A, 29.12.92) Part C, Method 1 "Acute Toxicity for Fish" and the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 203 "Fish, Acute Toxicity Test". The protocol was approved by Huntingdon Life Sciences Management on 7 July 1998, by the Sponsor on 17 July 1998, and by the Study Director on 3 August 1998. The experimental phase of the study was conducted between 28 September and 9 October 1998 and the results of chemical analysis were issued by 12 October 1998. ofBHHfjui Information provided by the Sponsor indicated that the solubility water wasH^I by weight at 35 - 40C and its purity was 25%. Throughout this report, the exposure concentration and test results have been expressed in terms of the active ingredient. Also, the Sponsor indicated that at room temperature the test substance was a suspension in water and upon standing it would separate out into its component phases; accordingly, at the recommendation of the Sponsor, the suspension was wanned to 35 - 40C (in a water bath) with gentle stirring to obtain a homogenous composition before use. :7 : Comply SanitEzed.

Source The fish were supplied by Parkwood Trout Farm, Kent, UK. They were reared at Bowerchalk Trout Farm, Salisbury, UK from South African eggs which hatched in June 1998. Acclimatisation The stock of fish was obtained from the supplier on 28 July 1998 and they were held in an aerated supply of diluent water under flow-through conditions until use. During the 14-day period immediately before the definitive test, temperatures remained within the range 13.6 to 13.9C, pH values within the range 7.8 to 7.9, dissolved oxygen concentrations within the range 98 to 100% air saturation value (ASV) and total hardness within the range 194 to 200 mg/1 as CaCO,. The fish were fed daily with commercial fish food (TROUW (UK) Ltd; Nutra Fry 02) an amount equivalent to 2% of the total wet-weight offish in the holding tank. No food was given during the 27hour period immediately before exposure or during the exposure period itself. No medication was given during the holding period, and mortalities were recorded as 3% in the 14 days before the definitive test. The size of the fish used in the definitive study was determined by weighing and measuring a sample of ten fish taken at random from the holding tank on 29 September 1998; their mean fork length was 5.4 cm and their mean wet weight was 1.6 g. DILUENT WATER The water used to hold the fish and for the study was laboratory tap water, dechlorinated and softened by passage through an EIga water purification system. It was passed through a high grade activated carbon filter to remove chlorine and any organic contaminants. A proportion of the supply then passed through a water softener before final reverse osmosis treatment to produce a highly purified water supply. The two grades of dechlorinated water were then remixed to give a supply with the desired water hardness. This water was then held in an intermediate tank where it was equilibrated to the test temperature and gently aerated before being supplied to the holding and test areas. Typical water quality characteristics of the diluent supply are given in Appendix 1. :9 : Company Sanitised. Does r:c-t contain TSCA CBl DPT439/984974 TEST SUBSTANCE PREPARATION Method of preparation Based on information provided by the Sponsor, the test substance was wanned (to c.38C ) in a water bath and gently swirled to ensure a homgeneous mixture before weighing. The test substance (6.4 g) was mixed with diluent water (250 ml) before being poured into a volumetric flask (2 1) containing diluent water (1.5 1). The contents of the flask were treated by ultrasound for twenty minutes before being poured into a test vessel (glass aquarium). The volume was then adjusted to 16 litres with diluent water. Stability of the test concentration o^uiimH^as The test concentration measured using an HPLC method of chemical analysis (Appendix 2). The stability of the test substance hi dechlorinated tap water was determined under storage conditions of4C and room temperature before the start of the study (Table 2, Appendix 2). Four, mid-vessel samples (100 ml) of medium were taken from the control and test vessels at 0 and 72 hours (fresh media) and at 24 and 96 hours (expired media) and reserved for analysis. They were stored in a refrigerator before two of the samples from each set were transferred to the Huntingdon Research Centre of Huntingdon Life Sciences Ltd, Cambridgeshire, for analysis; the other two samples remained in storage at the Eye Research Centre in case further analysis was required. EXPOSURE CONDITIONS Experimental design A rangefinding test was followed by a definitive (limit) test with one test concentration plus one diluent water control. In the definitive test, ten fish were placed at random into each glass aquarium containing the prepared test or control media. Each vessel contained 16 litres of medium to a depth of 16 cm. This provided an initial static loading of 0.99 g bodyweight/litre. Test concentrations The rangefinding study was conducted with test concentrations of 1, 10 and 100 mg/1. Based on the results of this test, the definitive (limit) test employed a nominal concentration of 100 mg/1. Medium renewal The fish were exposed to the control or test conditions for a period of 96 hours with daily batahwise renewal of the media to ensure the maintenance of satisfactory environmental conditions and to maintain a stable exposure level. 10 : Company Sait^d. Do-3 notc^n TSCAC31 DPT439/984974 Environmental conditions Treatment and control groups were maintained at 15 2C throughout the exposure period and constant to within 1C during the study. The temperature of the water in the control vessel was continuously monitored during the study. Supplementary aeration was provided via narrow bore glass tubes. A photoperiod of 16 hours light: 8 hours dark was maintained, with periods of subdued lighting at the beginning and end of each light phase. Daily records of temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen were kept for each control and test vessel together with measurements of total hardness for selected vessels at 0 hours. The fish were not fed during the 96 hour exposure period. CRITERIA OF EFFECT The criteria of death employed in this study were (i) absence of respiratory movement and (ii) absence of response to physical stimulation of the caudal peduncle. In addition to observations on mortality at 15 minutes, 2, 4, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours, subjective assessments were also made on the incidence and type of any sub-lethal effects compared with control fish. EVALUATION OF DATA The "no-observed-effect concentration" (NOEC) was derived by direct inspection of the data on the treatment-related-effects. An incidence rate of more than one affected fish out of ten is considered to be significant. PROTOCOL DEVIATIONS None. 11 Compsny Senitized.

The overall mean measured concentration o^H----| ----Kvas 94.1 mg a.i./l. Mortality and observations One fish had died (10% mortality) at 94.1 mg a.i./l at 96 hours. The 96-hour U^o could not be calculated but must be >94.1 mg a.i./l. A chronological record of sub-lethal effects is given in Table 2. They comprised hyperventilation, darkened pigmentation, aggression and aggregation. At 24 and 48 hours, nine fish and one fish were affected respectively, and at 72 hours all of the fish were affected. At 96 hours, when one fish had died, the remaining fish were adversely affected although their symptoms may have been caused by a fish which showed aggressive behaviour. Aggregation was also exhibited by nine fish in the control group at 24 and 72 hours and is also attributed to the presence of an aggressive fish. The "no-observed-effect" concentration (NOEC) could not be identified in the limit test; based on the rangefinding test, the NOEC was considered to be 1 mg a.i./l. (nominal concentration). Under the EC General Classification and Labelling Requirements for Dangerous Substances and Preparations,!------l^s not considered to require classification as the 96-hour LCso is considered to be greater than the highest nominal concentration, 100 mg a.i./l (mean measured level of 94.1 mg a.i./l). Environmental parameters The measurements of water quality (temperature, pH, concentrations of dissolved oxygen and total hardness) are summarised in Table 3; they remained within acceptable limits throughout the study. The test medium was clear and colourless. 13 : Compan;; Sanitized.
