AB  - Akanda National Park (ANP) is composed of mangrove ecosystems bordering 
      Libreville, Gabon's capital. The contamination of aquatic resources from the ANP 
      by persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and trace metals (TMs) was never 
      evaluated. To 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. Contamination levels for POPs and TMs were below maximum acceptable 
      limits for seafood, including Cd and Pb. No DDT was found in any sample. 
      Inter-specific differences were more obvious than the differences among sites, 
      although the results may be biased by an unbalanced sampling design. The oyster 
      Crassostrea gasar was the most contaminated species, making this species a good 
      candidate to assess environmental contamination in the area. The studied species 
      also contained essential elements, such as Fe, Zn and Mn at interesting levels in 
      a nutritional point of view.
