Abstract
Little is known about the economy of Sali on the island of Dugi otok from the 18th to the early 20th century, except about fisheries, so the author here puts forward some news he found about the population, agriculture, fisheries, handicrafts, shipping and cooperatives. Certainly the previous knowledge of these economic sectors of the local population, including Zaglav, is hereby supplemented. In addition to fishing, the population was engaged in agriculture and cattle breeding. There were hardly any trades and crafts except for kalafati and fish salters. An effort was made to produce soap in workshops, but it did not last long. Surprisingly, shipping here was not developed as expected. The shortage of surplus products was the reason for the weak trading activities of the local population.
