  1. ACR1 included data across all fish species and test types
  2. ACR2 included all test types but was confined to data with acute and chronic results from the same fish species
  3. ACR3 was confined to data from different fish species
  4. ACR4 was restricted to chronic toxicity testing conducted according or equivalent to OECD 210 representing FELS studies
  5. ACR5 included all chronic studies that were not conducted according or equivalent to OECD 210
  6. ACR6 included FELS tests that were confined to data with acute and chronic results from the same species
