<![CDATA[This research seeks to determine the organoleptic quality of fresh vaname shrimp which are marketed in modern market of Makassar City. The research was conducted from December 2019 to February 2020, in three modern markets with each representing the eastern, central, and western parts of Makassar. Samples were taken three times in each market during 10.00-11.00.
