Ecotoxicity studies required in Phase IIA to derive PNECI;sed for invertebrates in marine environment
Study | Toxicity endpoint | AF | Remark |
---|---|---|---|
Corophium volutator (ISO 16712) | 10‐day LC50 | 1,000 | Recommended marine species |
Second marine/estuarine benthic species (Table 8)* | 10‐day LC50 | 1,000 | At least another taxonomic group than Crustacea is required in the data set |
Third benthic marine/estuarine or freshwater species (Tables 8 and 9)* | 10‐day LC50 | 1,000 | At least another taxonomic group than Crustacea is required in the data set |
If in the near future ISO and/or OECD guidelines for short‐term toxicity tests with marine/estuarine benthic species become available, these protocol tests are preferred.
