The endpoint for all NOEC and EC50 values is immobilization, except for study 6 (NOEC for immobility and mortality combined); study 12 (immobilization and mortality combined), and study 15 (as indicated). The LOEC endpoints are as indicated.

Greatest tested concentration.

LC50 calculated by probit analysis, but response considered insufficient (max. 50% mortality) to produce adequate effect estimate.
