Fish is rich in essential nutrients but can remain a potential source of food poisoning. A study was , therefore , carried out with the general objective of highlighting the probable biological and chemical dangers associated with the consumption of fish and freshwater fruits from the Guéssabo river. The present study was conducted on 50 carp fish, 50 mackerel f i sh, 50 frog s and 50 mol lusks caught in the Guéssabo River. Microorganisms were enumerated by conventional tests and heavy metals were investigated by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry. The enumeration showed high levels of thermotolerant Coliforms (2.5 × 10 4 ), Enterobacteriaceae (3.4 × 10 4 ), S . aureus (2.3 × 10 3 ) and Yeast/Molds (2.1 × 10 4 ), in all samples the standards were not in conformity with the required standards. High levels of Al (7230 μg/kg) and Cd (21.57 μg/kg) were observed in carp fish and these values are above the standard. In conclusion , the fish caught in the Guéssabo River could be a health risk factor for the consumer.
