  abstract = {{A}kanda {N}ational {P}ark ({ANP}) is composed of mangrove ecosystems bordering {L}ibreville, {G}abon's capital. {T}he contamination of aquatic resources from the {ANP} by persistent organic pollutants ({POP}s) and trace metals ({TM}s) was never evaluated. {T}o provide a basis for their monitoring in the {ANP}, five species (two fish, two mollusks, and one crustacean) were analyzed from three sampling sites in 2017. {C}ontamination levels for {POP}s and {TM}s were below maximum acceptable limits for seafood, including {C}d and {P}b. {N}o {DDT} was found in any sample. {I}nter-specific differences were more obvious than the differences among sites, although the results may be biased by an unbalanced sampling design. {T}he oyster {C}rassostrea gasar was the most contaminated species, making this species a good candidate to assess environmental contamination in the area. {T}he studied species also contained essential elements, such as {F}e, {Z}n and {M}n at interesting levels in a nutritional point of view.},
