Male Srakane (lit. 'Little Srakane'; Italian: Canidole Piccola) is an island in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea, situated between Lošinj, Unije and Susak, just south of Vele Srakane. Administratively, it is part of the town of Mali Lošinj. As of 2021, it had a population of 2.[1]

Name

During the Austro-Hungarian Empire (until the end of World War I) the two islands were called Klein- und Gross-Kanidol.

Inhabitants

According to statistics, it has a current, reported population of just two people,[1] who only reside temporarily on the island in the summer. The inhabitants usually make a living from fishing and agriculture. In 1940-50 approximately 30 people made a living on the island and by late 1960 only two women remained on the island. The two residents who live on the island are not original residents.[2]
