abstract: The present paper aims at describing the most relevant background data on geomorphological, economic, ethnohistoric and demographic features of the island of Dugi otok. As an introduction to future holistic anthropological research on the island, it seeks to identify both internal and external impulses of change and/or continuity of the island population structure within a wider socio-cultural and historical context. As migrations and its demographic fluctuations, we also investigate Dugi otok 's most important economic branch - fishery. The purpose of this paper is to provide insight into these Dugi otok population's activities. For better understanding of migrations, we include amigration matrix of Dugi otok.
