Hazard Evaluation Division, Standard Evaluation Procedure: Acute Toxicity Test for Estuarine and Marine Organisms (Mollusc 48-Hour Embryo Larvae Study)

摘要

The Standard Evaluation Procedure (SEP) for the Mollusc 48-Hour Embryo-Larvae Toxicity Test is a guidance document primarily intended for Agency reviewers and the regulated industry who evaluate ecological effects data specified in 40 CFR Part 158.145. The SEP is also intended to provide information to the general public indicating how the Agency evaluates these types of studies. As such, it is designed to supplement Subdivision E of the Pesticide Assessment Guidelines: Hazard Evaluation - Wildlife and Aquatic Organisms. This SEP provides an Introduction, Materials and Methods, Reporting Requirements, Reviewer Evaluation, and Appendix of appropriate methods to guide the review and scientific evaluation of pesticide effects on estuarine/marine fish. The SEP for the Estuarine Fish 96-Hour Acute Toxicity Test is only one of a number of SEP's published by the National Technical Information Service as a supplement to Subdivision E of the Pesticide Assessment Guidelines.
