Have a look at our new document outlining best practise for conducting and reporting the fish sexual development test in line with OECD Test Guideline 234.
This is a validated test targeting early life stages of development to assess effects on vitellogenin (VTG) and sex ratio, informing on both the endocrine activity and adversity of potential endocrine disruptors. It is the main test required under REACH to clarify endocrine-disrupting properties related to estrogenic, androgenic and steroidogenic modalities in fish.
The document includes requirements and recommendations for laboratories when carrying out and reporting their tests.
