Abstract:
The FETAX test, which uses the South African frog, Xenopus, is the only internationally recognised testing method for assessing the effect of chemicals on amphibians. However as this test, in several regards, makes it difficult to relate results to Danish conditions, the purpose of this study is to develop a new test guideline using a test organism more relevant to European conditions. The fire-bellied toad Bombina was selected because it is widespread throughout Europe. The results have revealed that it is possible to breed Bombina throughout the year and get a sufficient number of embryos for ecotoxicological testing.

Abstract in Danish:
FETAX testen, der anvender den sydafrikanske sporefrø, Xenopus, er den eneste internationalt anerkendte testmetode til vurdering af kemikaliers effekt på amfibier. Da denne testmetode på en række områder vanskeliggør en relation til danske forhold, er formålet med denne undersøgelse at udarbejde en ny test guideline med en for europæiske forhold relevant testorganisme. Klokkefrøen Bombina er blevet udvalgt, da den er udbredt over hele EU. Det er lykkedes at udarbejde en metode, således at vi kan få klokkefrøen til at yngle hele året og få et tilstrækkeligt antal sunde embryoner, til at udføre en økotoksikologisk test.
