Abstract Organophosphorus pesticides(OPs) used in agriculture intensively has led to the contamination in aquatic environments and affected the non-target aquatic organisms, particularly fish. Therefore, rapid, sensitive, and accurate determination of OPs is necessary in order to take immediate necessary action. In recent 20 years, many researchers have studied the biomarkers related to detection of OPs in water. In this paper, the distribution, structure of these biomarkers and their response features to OPs are reviewed, the remained problems in monitoring OPs by biomarkers and the future research direction are also proposed.
