Subform VII: Scientific Study

1. Study Reference

Title Indaziflam - Short-Term Reproduction Assay with Fathead Minnow (Pimephales promelas)

Date 14-MAY-21

2. a) Is an extension needed to translate the document?

No

3. Type of incident identified in the study

Increased health or environmental risk

4. Describe the incident identified in the study (e.g. study demonstrates an increased risk to non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma after exposure to pesticide X)

There was a survival effect on the fish during this study at the test concentration of 0.19 mg/L. The next lowest concentration tested was 0.064 mg/L. This appears to be lower than the current chronic fish NOEC that PMRA is considering in their risk assessments [0.464 mg/L based on fry survival and growth (Banman et al., 2007)] thus would meet the criteria for adverse effects reporting.

5. a) Was the study discontinued before completion?

No

5. b) Provide the reason for discontinuation

6. If the study is ongoing, what is the expected completion date?

For Registrant use only

7. Provide supplemental information here

This study is not considered appropriate for assessing chronic risk to fish. This study is an endocrine screening study, and as such there are a limited number of test concentrations employed and a specific dose-spacing factor and these constraints do not provide for the type of dose-response analysis that lends to a robust risk assessment endpoint. The US EPA has previously acknowledged the limitations of this guideline study type (OCSPP 890.1350) for use in risk assessment. The study by Banman et al. (2007) is more appropriate for a chronic risk assessment for the aquatic environment.
