## Abstract Different cholinesterases from brain and body muscle of the fish three‐spined stickleback (__Gasterosteus aculeatus__) were investigated concerning their potential use in the biomonitoring of organophosphate insecticides (OPs). Stickleback brain contained acetylcholinesterase (AChE) but
