25、he three parts of IS0 7346 describe methods of determining the acute lethal toxicity of substances to the zebra fish (Brachydanio rerio Hamilton-Buchanan) but it must be emphasized that the recommended use of the zebra fish does not preclude the use of other species. The methodologies presented here
26、 may also be used for other species of freshwater, marine or brackish water fish, with appropriate modifications of, for example, dilution water quality and the temperature conditions of the test. Within the three parts of IS0 7346, a choice can be made between static, semi-static and flow-through m
27、ethods. The static test, described in IS0 7346-1, in which the solution is not renewed, has the advantage of requiring simple apparatus, although the substances in the test vessel may become depleted during the course of the test and the general quality of the water may deteriorate. The flow-through
28、 method, described in this part of IS0 7346, in which the test solution is replenished continuously, overcomes such problems but requires the use of more complex appar- atus. In the semi-static procedure, described in IS0 7346-2, the test sol- utions are renewed every 24 h or 48 h, this method being
29、 a compromise between the other two. The flow-through method can be used for most types of substances, in- cluding those unstable in water, but the concentrations of the test sub- stance are determined wherever possible. The static method is limited to the study of substances whose tested concentrat
30、ions remain relatively constant during the test period. The semi-static method can be used for testing those substances whose concentrations can be maintained satis- factorily throughout the test by renewal of the solutions every 24 h or 48 h. Special arrangements may be necessary for substances whi
31、ch are highly volatile. To assist in the preparation and maintenance of concentrations of sub- stances which may be lethal at concentrations close to that of their aqueous solubility, a small volume of solvent may be used, as specified in the methods. Page 3 EN IS0 7346-3 : 1997 1 Scope This part of
32、 IS0 7346 specifies a flow-through method for the determination of the acute lethal toxicity of stable, non-volatile, single substances, soluble in water under specified conditions, to a freshwater fish Brachyanio rerio Hamilton-Buchanan (Teleostei, Cyprinidae) - common name, zebra fish in water of
33、a specified quality. The method is applicable for assigning, for each test substance, broad categories of acute lethal toxicity to Brachydanio rerio under the test conditions. The results are insufficient by themselves to define water quality standards for environmental protection. The method is als
34、o applicable when using certain other species of freshwater fish as the test organism”. The method may be adapted for use with other freshwater fish and marine and brackish water fish with appropriate modification of the test conditions, particularly with respect to the quantity and quality of the d
35、ilution water and the temperature. 2 Principle Determination, under specified conditions, of the concentrations at which a substance is lethal to 50 % of a test population of Brachyanio rerio after exposure periods of 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h to that substance in the ambient water. These median let
36、hal concentrations are designated the 24 h - LC50, 48 h - LC50, 72 h - LC50 and 96 h - LC50. The test IS carried out in two stages: a) a preliminary test which gives an approximate in- dication of the acute median lethal concentrations and serves to determine the range of concen- trations for the fi
37、nal test; b) a final test, the results of which alone are re- ported. 1) The following species of freshwater fish can be used, in addition to Brachydanio rerio, without modification to this part of IS0 7346. - Lepomis macrochirus (Teleostei. Centrarchidae) - Oryzias latipes (Teleostei, Poecilidae) -
38、 Pimephales promelas (Teleostei, Cyprinidae) - Poecilia reticulata (Teleostei. Poeciliidae) Page 4 EN IS0 7346-3 : 1997 Where evidence is available to show that test con- centrations remain relatively constant (.e. within about 20 % of the nominal values) throughout the test, then either measured or
39、 nominal concentrations are used in the estimation of the LC50. Where such analyses show that the concentrations present remain relatively constant but are less than about 80 %, or greater than 120 %, of the nominal values, then the analytical values are used in estimating the LC50. Where evidence i
40、s not available to show that the test concentrations remained at an acceptable level throughout the test period, or where it is known (or suspected) that the concentrations of the test chemi- cal have declined significantly at any stage during the test, then, irrespective of whether or not chemical
41、analytical data are available, the LC50 cannot be de- fined using this test method. In these cases, the test is not necessarily invalidated but it can only be stated that the LC50 of the substance is G x mg/l, the value, x, being estimated from the nominal concentrations used. 3.2 Standard dilution
42、water The freshly prepared standard dilution water shall have a pH of 7.8 f 0.2. and a calcium hardness of approximately 250 mg/L expressed as calcium carbonate, and shall contain the following concen- trations of salts dissolved in distilled or deionized water: 294,O mg/l CaC1,.2H,O 123,3 mg/l MgS0
43、4.7H,0 63.0 mg/l NaHCO, 5,5 mg/i KCI Aerate the dilution water until the concentration of dissolved oxygen reaches at least 90 % of its air saturation value (ASV) and the pH is constant at 7,8 f 0,2. If necessary, adjust the pH of the solution by adding sodium hydroxide solution or hydrochloric acid
44、. The dilution water thus prepared shall receive no further forced aeration before use in the tests. 3 Test organism and reagents 3.3 Stock solutions of test substances The reagents shall be of recognized analytical grade. The water used for the preparation of solutions shall be glass-distilled wate
45、r or deionized water of at least equivalent purity. 3.1 Test organism The test species shall be Brachydanio rerio Hamilton- Buchanan (Teleostei, Cyprinidae), commonly known as the zebra fish. Each test fish shall have a total length of 30 mm k 5 mm, which, in principle, corre- sponds to a mass of 0,
46、3 g f 0,l g. They shall be selected from a population of a single stock. This stock should have been acclimatized and, in any case, maintained for at least 7 d prior to the test in dilution water, continuously aerated using bubbled air (see 3.2), under conditions of water quality and illumination si
47、milar to those used in the test. They shall be fed as normal up to the 24 h period immediately preceding the test. Test fish shall be free of overt disease or visible malformation. They shall not receive treatment for disease during the test or in the 2 weeks preceding the test. Subsequent to the te
48、st, fish remaining alive should be suitably disposed of. Environmental conditions for the maintenance and breeding of zebra fish are given in annex A. A stock solution of the test substance should be pre- pared by dissolving a known amount of test sub- stance in a defined volume of dilution water, d
49、eionized water or glass-distilled water. The stock solution should be prepared at a frequency appropri- ate to the stability of the test substance. To enable stock solutions to be prepared and to assist in their transfer to the test vessels, substances of low aqueous solubility may be dissolved or dispersed by suitable means, including ultrasonic devices and or- ganic solvents of low toxicity to fish. If any such or- ganic solvent is used, its concentration in the test solution shall not exceed 0,l ml/l, or the volume con- taining 0
