Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is determined as an enzyme linked to the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) and is classified as a marker of neurotoxicity. Mollusks have been widely used as sentinels in monitoring programs, especially bivalve mollusks, as evaluators of contaminants in aquatic environments. This article aims to use bibliometric analysis techniques to detect trends in methods used to evaluate AChE activity in mollusks and investigate the current status and frontiers of publications. The present study was used as a basis for performing the bibliometric analysis data obtained through a bibliographic search in the CAPES Portal (Web of Science) database; for this analysis, 25 articles were used, including after selection and exclusion. Based on the results obtained with this research, although quite old, the Ellman method (1961) is still the most widely used due to its effectiveness in determining AChE activity. The species Mytilus galloprovincialis Lam. is quite susceptible to assessing this activity and the Bivalve mollusk group is the most used for such study, on the other hand, the Cephalopod group is very little used. The bibliometric analysis revealed gaps that reflect enormous missed opportunities in improving the health of aquatic ecosystems and highlight the urgency of the scientific community to intensify efforts in scientific studies, helping to promote the health of aquatic ecosystems.
