OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 2 Test No. 234: Fish Sexual Development Test


Book Description

This Test Guideline describes an assay that assesses early life-stage effects and potential adverse consequences of putative endocrine disrupting chemicals (e.g. oestrogens, androgens and steroidogenesis inhibitors) on fish sexual development. In ...







OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 2 Test No. 203: Fish, Acute Toxicity Test


Book Description

The fish are exposed to the test substance preferably for a period of 96 hours. Mortalities are recorded at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours and the concentrations which kill 50 per cent of the fish (LC50) are determined where possible. One or more species ...




OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 2 Test No. 210: Fish, Early-life Stage Toxicity Test


Book Description

The test method described in this Test Guideline, is intended to define the lethal and sub-lethal effects of chemicals on the early life stages of the species tested. The early-life stages of fish are exposed to five concentrations of the test ...




OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 2 Test No. 204: Fish, Prolonged Toxicity Test: 14-Day Study


Book Description

This Test Guideline presents guidance for measurement of lethal and other observed effects in fish exposed to test substances. It may be used in place of Test Guideline 203 if a longer observation period is considered useful and appropriate and the ...




OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 2 Test No. 215: Fish, Juvenile Growth Test


Book Description

This Test Guideline is designed to assess the effects of prolonged exposure to chemicals on the growth of juvenile fish. Juvenile fish in exponential growth phase are placed, after being weighed, in test chambers and are normally exposed to five ...




OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 2 Test No. 229: Fish Short Term Reproduction Assay


Book Description

This Test Guideline describes an in vivo screening assay for fish reproduction where sexually mature male and spawning female fish are held together and exposed to a chemical during a limited part of their life-cycle (21 days). The short term ...




OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 2 Test No. 230: 21-day Fish Assay A Short-Term Screening for Oestrogenic and Androgenic Activity, and Aromatase Inhibition


Book Description

This Test Guideline describes an in vivo screening assay for certain endocrine active substances where sexually mature male and spawning female fish are held together and exposed to a chemical during a limited part of their life-cycle (21 days ...




OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 2 Test No. 212: Fish, Short-term Toxicity Test on Embryo and Sac-Fry Stages


Book Description

In this Short-term Toxicity Test on Fish Embryo and Sac-Fry Stages, the life stages from the newly fertilized egg to the end of the sac-fry stage are exposed. The embryo and sac-fry stages of fish are exposed to five concentrations of the test ...




OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 2 Test No. 236: Fish Embryo Acute Toxicity (FET) Test


Book Description

The test method described in this Test Guidelineis inteneded to determine the acute or letal toxicity of chemicals on embryonic stages of fish (Danio rerio). Newly fertilised zebrafish eggs are exposed to the test chemical for a period of 96 hrs ...
