Concentration d'une substance produisant 50 % d'effet sur la biomasse algale
I can't find this term translated anywhere online, it's a key term in a Safety Data Sheet.
Literally translated I have: "Concentration of a substance producing 50% of effects on the algal biomass" Is there anything better?
I also need: CEr50, which is
Concentration d'une substance produisant 50 % d'effet sur la croissance algale
Unfortunately I am no scientist! So thanks for any help.

ECb50
I'm not scientist either, and you're meant to ask for the two terms separately, but see page 48 of this PDF:
For algae, the 50% effect can be based on growth rate (ECr50) or biomass (ECb50).

Comment: "Thanks. I chose this as the term appears to be "Effect Concentration Biomass 50" in use in European documentation pertaining to Safety Data Sheets."

: ECb50 and EbC50 both seem to be used in what look like reliable sources.
