As part of the research program on the aquatic ecotoxicology of nanomaterials, a study was carried out using the invertebrate Hydra vulgaris in order to determine the influence that the shape of nanoparticles (sphere, cube and prism) have on the toxic potential of silver nanoparticles. The selection of nanoparticles of similar size and identical surface properties (polyvinylpyrrolidone) allowed to highlight the effects related to the geometrical shape. This study also contributes to the expansion of knowledge on the toxic effects of nanoparticles in relation to their geometry—a topic that has very little examination in aquatic ecotoxicology. All data are a part subject of a publication containing method details, full QA/QC, interpretation and conclusions. Citation: Auclair J, Gagné F.
